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 now a group of 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 specific Public Lands Heist legislation in Congress and how you can contact your representatives.
- Sign this petition to show policymakers that voters support our public lands.
Map Your Route
Sharing your tracks and observations helps us identify and advocate for the protection of high-priority lands for backcountry and Nordic skiing and other human-powered winter adventures.
- Download the free Mountain Hub App for your smart phone (iOS/GooglePlay) and get after it!
- Create an account on Powder Project to map important backcountry ski areas and get access to information on backcountry skiing areas across the country.

Know Before You Go
Our good friend Kim Havell knows how to navigate the backcountry safely and with confidence, do you? A few pieces of critical gear are absolutely necessary to have a great time on snow, but the knowledge of how to use them is arguably more important.
This module will walk you through what pieces of gear are standard for safe backcountry navigation, and give you an in-depth analysis of how and when to use them. Have fun, come home safe, know before you go. 👉🏼 bit.ly/KBYG-Safety
