Mountain Towns 2030 Executive Director Chris Steinkamp will be moderating a panel at this year’s Sun Valley Forum, a blueprint for innovation, investment, and impact. Join us there!

The panel will explore climate resiliency: The Wood River Valley stands out as one of the strongest examples of cross-community collaboration in action. What’s notable isn’t just ambition, but alignment. Local governments, regional partners, nonprofits, and the resort community are working from a shared vision and coordinating around ex*****on. That level of alignment allows the valley to move faster, deploy resources more effectively, and tackle challenges at the scale they actually exist.

At the conference, MT2030’s moderated a candid conversation with ski industry leaders on what a low-snow season really means—and where we go from here.

Kevin Lenau (Backcountry), Sophie Goldschmidt, Raj Basi, and Brad Chedister didn’t sugarcoat it: declining snow is already impacting revenue, increasing costs, and reshaping the future of the sport.

But alongside the urgency, there was clarity:
— Innovation in materials and technology is accelerating
— Consumer demand for sustainability is rising
— And the ski industry has a unique platform to drive awareness and action

As Goldschmidt put it: “We can take the profile of this issue to a whole new level.”

The question now isn’t whether change is coming—it’s how fast we act, and how well we work together.
