Using socioeconomic system frameworks, this study analyses secondary research including academic literature, climate action plans, alongside primary qualitative research collected from industry, government and community stakeholder narratives to investigate climate change and climate responsiveness in five Canadian ski tourism destinations. Despite localized climate and carbon risks, results highlight patterns impeding climate preparedness including rapid tourism growth, recreation resource corporatization, externalized climate action and sustainability, inequities, and lack of aspirational collective visioning.
