As winters shrink and ski resorts rely more on artificial snow, After Snow reimagines the alpine slope as public terrain for ecological repair rather than private extraction. Focusing on Telluride Ski Resort, the project explores design strategies that reclaim forest remnants, repurpose snowmaking systems, and redefine ski runs for a warming world. This thesis project is the recipient of the 2025 Master in Landscape Architecture Thesis Prize at Harvard GSD. 

Join Cory Page (Harvard GSD’25, Telluride High School’14), Landscape Architect and Urban Planner, for a presentation on the future of skiing, followed by a panel discussion on “the cost of doing nothing.” The panel will feature local recreation stakeholders as well as EcoAction Partners on our current climate. This community event will take place at the Wilkinson Public Library on September 15th from 5:30-7pm- hope to see you there!
