Our Environmental Commitment
Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children. - Kenyan Proverb

Proud mountains, clean air, pine forests, and sparkling snow… without these our hotel wouldn't be noteworthy. Instead, Treasure Mountain occupies a magical place with a unique view on what it means to be clean. We strive to provide the amenities you expect while minimizing our hotel’s impact upon the Earth. To do this, we enthusiastically recycle, support wind energy, encourage water conservation, serve organic foods, encourage public transportation, and give back to organizations that protect and preserve the natural environment. The outdoors is not just a livelihood for us; it is our passion. We invite you to live lightly with us here, so that our children might learn the truth about us--as witnessed by the trees, testified by the mountains, carried by the wind across miles and years--retold by the fire, storm after winter storm.

Some specifics on Treasure Mountain Inn’s green practices:

Recycle: Treasure Mountain Inn has an extensive recycling program including paper, glass, plastic, aluminum, tin cans, newspaper and cardboard. Recycling centers can be found in each room and in the hallways. The Inn also utilizes biodegradable shampoos, lotions and soaps made with natural ingredients that are packaged in recyclable tubes and cartons made with recycled materials. All paper products at TMI are made from recycled materials. Treasure Mountain Inn has twice by recognized as Utah Business Recycler of the Year (2005 & 2006).

Re-Use: Treasure Mountain Inn strongly encourages guests to re-use their towels and linens, vastly reducing water consumption. In its recent and extensive remodel, the Inn re-used and preserved many of the original building materials. In many cases, this included refurbishing wood cabinetry, doors, and metal fixtures. Despite its new look; the Inn still maintains pieces of original history as a bridge to its rich past.

Reduce: TMI has greatly reduced its electrical consumption by replacing most of the common area lighting with low-energy fluorescent lights and reduced water consumption by installing water conservation shower heads in every unit. The Inn is also heavily vested in the Utah Blue Sky Program purchasing about 30% of its electric as Wind Power. The commitment to alternative energy reduces its annual coal consumption by 96 tons and CO2 emissions by 190 tons. Lastly, the Inn has reduced paper consumption by 50% by eliminating extra paperwork, placing an emphasis on electronic documents, on-line banking, using smaller paper sizes, and utilizing digital marketing collateral. Whenever paper is required, TMI uses 100% recycled paper.

Restore: Treasure Mountain Inn is a member of 1% for the Planet and gives at least 1% of every sale to environmental causes.

(the) Rest : Due to its unique location in the center of town, the Inn strongly encourages guests to leave their cars at the Inn and take advantage of Park City’s free public transportation. Groups requiring Food & Beverage are treated to homemade food made from mostly organic and natural ingredients. There is also a café on property, the Morning Ray, which allows guests to choose from a variety of organic and vegetarian dishes. In addition to earth–friendly shampoos and soaps, the Inn uses primarily bio-friendly cleaning products.
