SLNC joined Biosphere Adhesion Program through TOTA three years ago in an effort to create a more sustainable tourism destination through the thoughtful and responsible pursuit of best practices to reduce consumption, waste, carbon footprint, faith and equitable treatment of employees, and creation of a culture that was both environmentally and ethically responsible in the club’s governance.
We are proud to work directly with Tourism Vernon and the Vernon Tourism Commission to provide winter sports destination tourism marketing value in Vernon. We collaborate to ensure that events, programs and visitor experiences through day ticket sales are a high priority of the City of Vernon Tourism Staff in driving guests to our facility during the winter months. SLNC also utilizes Coop Marketing Funds to help bring more winter visitors to the region through marketing and advertising campaigns. Troy Hudson (SLNC GM), sits on the Vernon Tourism Commission as the Wintersports (Ski) Representative since 2019.

We have a lot to be proud of when we collaborate together!
