Under the guise of “modernization” and “streamlining,” the White House is moving swiftly to put big industry in charge of environmental decisionmaking—and to cut the public and science out of the process. We need to put pressure on Congress now to make sure they don’t let this happen.
Stand up for Public Lands
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.

Tahoe already experienced an overwhelming summer of tourism in the pandemic — with trash and parking issues that followed. Winter may very well bring more of the same, plus the inherent avalanche danger that’s built into winter recreation." Via SFGATE.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to our newest WWA Ambassador, Sofia Jaramillo. Sofia is an adventure photographer and filmmaker based in Jackson, WY. As a Colombian-American, her mission is to uplift and tell the stories of BIPOC athletes and friends. She got her start in photography working for newspapers and is trained in telling stories through still photography and video. She believes in the power of storytelling and with this approach has photographed worldwide ad campaigns for various clients.
In 2019, she became the first woman of color to shoot a snow campaign for The North Face. She is a regular contributor to National Geographic Travel and National Geographic Adventure. A deep appreciation for nature and winter lands was instilled in her ever since her childhood growing up in Idaho. With her work in outdoor sports, she strives to carve space and create more opportunities for BIPOC athletes and make wild lands more accessible for everyone.
Our Ambassador crew is a corps of professional backcountry skiers, explorers, guides and industry veterans who embody the mission of WWA, strengthening our efforts to promote and protect the human-powered snowsports experience. They are leaders in the backcountry community and provide a crucial link between WWA, the public, and the rest of the snowsports world. We value their support and commitment tremendously.
