PROTECT OUR WINTERS

Protect our Winters (POW) was founded by Pro American Snowboarder Jeremy Jones in 2007, and launched in the UK in 2017.

‘We help passionate outdoor people become effective climate advocates to achieve systemic solutions to climate change, protecting our world today and for future generations.

As enthusiastic outdoor people, we harness our connection to wild places as a force for positive change. We're a loud, energetic, and insistent outdoor community that influences climate policy to protect the places we love. We see climate breakdown happening in our playgrounds, and we're communicating that message to policymakers.’

From the pistes of the Alps to the shores of the British coastline, outdoor lovers are watching their environment change rapidly in front of them. POW offer accessible and engaging ways to involve change into your life, work and passion.

ECOSKI

Ecoski, campaigning through fashion for the longevity of our seasons and to look good doing it.

‘We’re on a mission to help change the way people think about their clothing. Especially the clothing that is essential to enjoy winter sports. Skiwear. We know that skiing is by no means a ‘green’ sport! But short of giving it up altogether, there are changes we can make that lessen our impact without reducing the fun. If like us, skiing is your passion, one that you want to share with friends and family and pass on to your children and beyond, then collectively we have a responsibility to just do it better. And it’s our mission to help you find a way to ski cleaner, greener and kinder.’

Donate your unused ski wear here, or rent and buy skiwear for the whole family here.

Travel

BY RAIL

Make the journey part of your holiday - travel by rail and do better for the planet.
Travelling to the Alps by rail produces 0.01 Tons of Carbon

The Belmond Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the most luxurious and magical way to arrive in the Alps - take the overnight sleeper to Albertville, Moûtiers & Bourg-Saint-Maurice.

Eurostar offers a seamless sleeper journey to Moûtiers & Bourg-Saint-Maurice, with one change at Paris du Nord. Depart on the Friday evening and arrive in the picturesque mountains on Saturday morning for a week of skiing.

Once in the Alps, or if you are planning on hopping around resorts the Glacier Express and Mont Blanc Express wind through the valleys of France and Switzerland
