Chain lube is now plant based.
You sip on a $25 iced latte reminiscing when it used to be a brisk 35 degrees in June.

You sent nearly 1000 emails to your MPs and Federal Cabinet Ministers, demanding an effective oil & gas emissions cap, making sure 🇨🇦 is held accountable for the climate commitments we made to the world.
And we will continue to fight to make sure we can #KeepItDeep forever.
The future of snow depends on the path we take to act on fossil fuels.
Help protect the season we love by demanding our Federal government #KeepItDeep and cap oil & gas emissions now, with no more delays. Sign our petition below!

2023 ended with the “F” word.. and we’re not talking about “Frick, where’s the snow?”

Lower emissions = Blower Conditions
How will ski seasons be affected by Canada's current emissions trajectory?
Let's make sure "the white room" isn't a concept we have to explain to future generations instead of them experiencing it. More in the 🧵
