Abstract
While outdoor sports, such as skiing, impact the environment, the environment also impacts the sport. North College is a small, private, liberal arts college in the mountains of New England that sponsors four National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I sports, men’s alpine skiing, women’s alpine skiing, men’s Nordic skiing, and women’s Nordic skiing. New England’s weather has been struggling to help the both the men’s and women’s teams access adequate early season training due to the changing environment and the lower snowfall totals. Climate change has posed a risk to the sport of skiing due to the decreased natural snow cover and shortened ski seasons. In addition, manmade snow may increase the risk of injury to student-athletes participating. Through advocacy, partnerships, and climate literacy, this case study seeks to explore North College’s sustainably efforts and attempts to prevent further change in the environment.
