Because the environment remains a top priority in Station Mont Tremblant's sustainable development plan, a number of actions were undertaken in regards to nature preservation. One such action drew considerable attention by winning l’Association des Stations de ski du Québec’s Environment & Sustainable Development Award as well as a nomination for a Phénix Environmental Award – a highly sought after industry distinction now in its 17^th year. It was Tremblant's residual waste reduction programme implemented to decrease landfill matter by adding composting to the selective triage stations that were already in place.
