WWA continues to grow and expand our vitally important Grassroots network. New additions include the Bend Backcountry Alliance, Bend, Ore; Biodiversity Conservation Alliance, Laramie,
Wyo; Friends of Pathways, Jackson, Wyo; Kongsberger Ski Club, Seattle, Wash; Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, Juneau, Alaska; and the Wyoming Wilderness Association, Sheridan, Wyo. WWA member Grassroots Groups are the lifeblood of our on-the-ground work and we are excited to support the work of these organizations in protecting winter wildlands and a quality human-powered snowsports experience. Similarly, in recent months WWA has added to our already impressive list of Backcountry Partners. We are proud to add All Seasons Adventures, Park City, Utah; Aerial Boundaries, Driggs, Idaho; The Ascending Path, Anchorage, Alaska; Kris Erikson Photography, Livingston Mont; Exum Mountain Guides, Moose Wyo; and Skinny Skis, Jackson, Wyo. This Backcountry Partners program is a unique partnership for
small businesses who support, and want their customers to know they support, Winter Wildlands Alliance’s mission of promoting and preserving winter wildlands and a quality human-powered snowsports experience on public lands. A huge thanks goes out to these businesses for sustaining the efforts of Winter Wildlands Alliance. Please support these great businesses and our mutual efforts to help keep the backcountry experience safe and pristine. If you are associated or know of a potential Backcountry Partner we would love to hear from you.
