Thank you for skiing, riding, and sliding on snow with us all season long. “The 2024-25 season may come to represent a new baseline for the industry. Even if ‘normal’ continues to evolve, this season gives us a strong point of reference for what steady, healthy growth looks like,” said NSAA President and CEO Michael Reitzell.

Thank you to our Platinum sponsor, Snomax International! Your support helps make NSAA’s National Convention possible. Snomax saves energy and water. That saves you money and protects the environment. The numerous positive effects include: 🔵 Snomax generates extra nucleators so more snow can be generated from the amount of water and energy used. This reduces the snow-production time and the amount of water used. 🔵 Snomax snow lasts longer so it needs extra snow less often. Water mixed with Snomax freezes closer to the nozzles and so counters evaporation. 🔵 Snomax can generate snow of a higher quality. 🔵If the snow generated is too wet, Snomax prevents the formation of ice because the snow continues freezing. 🔵Snomax snow is drier and easier to handle so slope preparation can be reduced. 🔵With Snomax, the snow-generation system can operate at higher temperatures. All these effects make systems that use Snomax much more efficient. Visit us in the tradeshow to learn more! 🔗 www.nsaa.org/national #NSAA2025 #MarcoIslandFL #MountainInspired

I am proud that our team at The Summit at Snoqualmie is featured on the cover of the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) Spring Journal, recognized for our leadership in advancing Renewable Diesel within the ski industry. During the 2023–2024 winter season, we became the first ski resort in the United States to operate our entire heavy equipment fleet—including our Kässbohrer All Terrain Vehicles, Inc. Pisten Bully groomers—exclusively on R99 renewable diesel throughout the full season; reducing our Scope 1 diesel emissions by over 50%. The article also highlights several other outstanding resorts and their dedicated teams who are helping to drive the adoption of renewable diesel across the industry. We are honored to be included among them in this collective effort to elevate sustainability in our field. I’d also like to say a huge thank you to our partners that joined us on this journey and helped make it happen Coleman Oil Company and Hunter Lott! #renewablediesel #beingbetterfortheplanet #innovationinsustainability
