Since its launch in 2023, the Ski Industry Climate Summit has evolved from a brand-focused dialogue into an conference uniting the winter sports industry.
BOLZANO, ITALY, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The international ski and winter sports industry will gather for the third edition of the Ski Industry Climate Summit, taking place January 13–15, 2026, at Fiera Bolzano in Italy, alongside the Prowinter Show. As climate change continues to challenge winter sports, the industry’s commitment to transformative action has never been stronger. Brands, resorts, companies, and organizations are striving to minimize their environmental impact and undertake the essential changes that climate science demands.
The Summit is an international conference built to strengthen collaboration across the winter sports industry. It offers a shared space for open discussion, practical learning, and joint progress toward a more sustainable future. Hosted by Atomic, Protect Our Winters Europe (POW), and the Winter Sports Sustainability Network (WSN), the Summit has become the key meeting point for collective climate action across the entire winter sports industry.
Common challenges, common solutions
Since its launch in 2023, the Ski Industry Climate Summit has evolved from a brand-focused dialogue into an industry-wide conference uniting ski and snowboard manufacturers, protection and gear brands, sports federations, retailers, resorts, and organizations. The shared goal: to strengthen cooperation and accelerate measurable progress toward a more sustainable and climate-resilient future for winter sports.
“Brands, resorts, sports federations, and more work together to create an inspiring winter experience. But with climate change challenging our industry, we must use that same collective spirit to drive meaningful progress. The Ski Industry Climate Summit is the place to do that.”
Jonas Schneider from POW Europe.
“This summit is more than a conference. It’s where the ski industry defines its future. New entrants will find valuable updates on regulatory dynamics, direct
access to innovators and decision-makers, and unmatched networking opportunities to accelerate growth and impact, because no one can take on the sustainability challenges on their own.”
Jerome Pero, Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry
