Ski for Trees is an initiative created by Pete Oswald with the goal of mitigating climate change and saving our icy mountain playgrounds by planting trees towards permanent reforestation in developing countries where it is needed most and lifts our poorest people out of extreme poverty.

After the success of Ski for Trees in 2020 Pete has started Ski for Trees 2021 designed to involve anyone and everyone from individuals to big businesses. Click through below to see each project.
