More than 80% of fresh water in the American West comes from snow. And yet our upper watersheds are facing increasing threats from climate change, biodiversity loss, unmanaged recreation and other resource pressures. We are an alliance of grassroots organizations, conservationists, outdoor industry partners, backcountry skiers and snowboarders, Nordic skiers, snowshoers, winter mountaineers, snow scientists, educators and many others who are devoted to protecting one of America’s most important resources: our wild snowscapes.
