🍻Now this is a beer we'd cheers with after a day of being out in the backcountry! Major kudos to Krystin Norman, Fremont Brewing and SheJumps for working together to brew the Snowpack Pale Ale and using the sales to provide 30 avalanche education scholarships for women in the Pacific Northwest — 50% of which went to women of color as part of SheJumps' commitment to equitable diversity and inclusion in the outdoors. Great feature, Powder!

Remember when we were talking about the Roadless Rule and Alaska last year? Now Utah is looking for a way to lift protections for Roadless lands within its boundaries too...
Utah is officially petitioning the Forest Service to roll back protections on its National Forests, which would eliminate protections for nearly 80% of currently protected backcountry skiing, more than half of currently protected climbing, 79% of the state’s currently protected paddling, and 79% of the state’s currently protected hiking and mountain biking.
Upcoming Events
Winter Wildlands Alliance is a national nonprofit organization promoting and
preserving winter wildlands and a quality human-powered snowsports
experience on public lands.
