Hundreds of avid snowboarders will presently be dusting down their ski equipment and scooting away in search of the largest snowfall.

And doubtless the result from our carbon footprint will be close to as far down the list of holiday essentials as a Christmas tree after the Christmas vacation.

Merely last Christmas, a sluggish snowfall made the the broadsheets and holidaymakers were terrified about the smattering of snow disappearing nearly as soon as they landed.

Skiing company Chalet1802, located at the base of Mount Blanc in Chamonix village in the Alps, is one of the first autonomous firms to go carbon negative and afford skiers an environmentally friendly option whilst organising their ski trip.

Chalet1802 proprietor Farren said: Last season was a bit of a surprise with the warmest winter in 60 years in the French Alps. Snowboarding ski fields like Araches-la-Frasse, Les Menuires and Chastreix-Sancy lacked clients.It was balmy and the snow didnt last so a lot of the early winter ski season in the Alps was uneven. We decided to become carbon neutral to help preserve the skiing resort.

Farren said: We are not seeking to dictate to holiday makers only we think it is important to provide the clients the selection without augmenting the price of the trip. If the customer book with us and goes on holiday to our Chamonix chalet they can more than off-set their carbon footprint and we absorb the other costs. Of course we still have a sauna and a hot tub – people wish for lavishness but not at the expense of the environs, so we viewed methods of diminishing the affect of a guest traveling over here for a snowboarding holiday.”
