We love the Rivers and Mountains we get to call home.

We hope future generations will be able to explore the same forests, raft the same rivers, ski the same peaks, and yes, drink the same whisky. Help us show the world that businesses can make sustainability a top priority and still succeed.

Actively Green and Climate Impact Award Winner 2025

We are delighted to share that we received our Actively Green Certificate August 2024. It took a full year of data tracking, policy writing (and implementing!) not to mention education. Actively Green is a globally recognized certification that provides a framework of sustainable business criteria and performance indicators that support any business in elevating performance with the use of best management practices specific to sustainability principles and we are very proud to join the town of Minturn in receiving our Actively Green Certification.

In 2025, we were selected as the Actively Green Climate Impact Award winner.

Eagle River Coalition and 1% For the Planet.

Before we even had a company, we knew who we wanted to partner with. We approached the Eagle River Coalition because we felt their mission was very aligned with our own. Since our start, we have given, and will continue to give, 1% of all proceeds to the ERC to help protect the Eagle and Colorado Rivers, and all the life these waterways support.

Because we already gave 1% of our revenue away, we decided to also partner with 1% for the Planet and join other businesses who make the environment a priority. This move allowed us to sponsor the Eagle River Coalition so they could also become part of the 1% for the planet community, potentially securing for them other sources of donations and publicity.
