Recycling and CompostingWherever possible recycling or composting are used throughout Vail Resorts' properties. These programs are truly at "ground level," where employees at each property use their knowledge and enthusiasm to institute effective reuse programs. Sustainable BuildingSeveral Vail Resorts' projects have been certified within the US Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Globes standards including our Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club, and One Ski Hill Place in Breckenridge. | Colorado Mountain ExpressInherently green, Colorado Mountain Express encourages people to use the multi-passenger shuttle from the airports to our Colorado Resorts as public transportation and leave the mountain driving to our experienced team. This year, Colorado Mountain Express is also testing vans that use biodiesel as an alternative to gasoline. Green Guest RoomsOver 3,000 guest rooms at Vail Resorts' properties have an evolving 10-point environmental program that includes in-room recycling, eco-friendly cleaning products, energy efficient lighting and electronics and a wealth of other initiatives.
