Thomas Prior for BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK
Our public lands – millions of acres of forests, mountains, rivers, and plains – are a part of who we are. They exist for the good of all, not the profit of a few. But powerful special interests inside the government and beyond are waging an aggressive campaign to undermine and even sell off public lands all across the west for short-term private gain.
- Use our Bill Tracker to learn more about legislation in Congress that affects public lands and contact the Members who represent you in D.C.

It’s hard to imagine sitting in a crowded movie theater right now—our world has changed so quickly in light of the pandemic that recent memories feel like an eternity ago. And yet, the memory of the Backcountry Film Festival’s world premiere is a hopeful assurance of what just was and what will be again.

This season, the Backcountry Film Festival traveled to almost 100 towns across the country. It raised more than $150,000 for 80 nonprofits.Southern Utah has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing economic crash. This survey is designed to document the economic impact of backcountry skiing in Southern Utah, and we hope the information will be used to help those communities recover. If you went backcountry skiing in Southern Utah earlier this winter, please take a moment to fill out this survey.
Have You Skied or Snowshoed in Southern Utah? We Want to Hear From You | Winter Wildlands Alliance

If you’ve skied, snowshoed, or otherwise played in the snow in southern Utah, please help us out by taking this survey. Quantifying the economic impact of human-powered snowsports on the Manti La Sal National Forest will help us to advocate for snowsports enthusiasts and make a case for protecting..."Ultimately whether on the mountain or in the ocean, we’re all just after that feeling of flying, and getting to share it only fuels the fire. There’s something so gratifying about taking someone with you who you know will love it, and getting to show them your world."
A good story from our friends over at YETI, a sponsor of the #BackcountryFilmFestival.
