At times it feels like everything we value is at risk. But when it comes to countering the impacts of climate change and protecting the snowscapes we all care about, Winter Wildlands Alliance is out in front, breaking trail.
Together, over more than two decades, we have built a powerful national network of grassroots advocates and allies with deep expertise, shared values of equity, inclusivity and public land stewardship, and a compelling vision of a future that includes people and nature working together to sustain a healthy planet.
Because of your support, we are able to realize this vision and work towards it as a reality.
November not only marks the start of our busy season (and hopefully the first snowfall wherever winter finds you) but also kicks off our year-end fundraising efforts.
Our year-end fundraising allows us to inject energy into our budget mid-season so we can continue to grow capacity on our team and in our national campaigns to protect America’s wild snowscapes.
Be an integral part of our Alliance and help us jumpstart our year-end fundraising by giving today!

Winter Travel Planning Webinar
November 30 at 6:00pm MT on Zoom
Advocates for the West hosts a discussion with WWA and WildEarth Guardians about the evolution of human winter travel on our western National Forests, motorized impacts to wildlife and natural resources, and the need to conserve land- and soundscapes through hard-fought, science-based regulation.
Watch “Finding Gulo”
Straight out of last winter’s Backcountry Film Festival line-up, one of our favorite films is now available to watch for free at any time you’d like! “Finding Gulo” follows a backcountry ski guide and a field biologist who attempt to document an elusive population of wolverines in Washington’s Cascade Range. When our government fails to act, can citizen science save endangered wildlife from climate change?
October Policy Update
In this month’s policy update, we share the snow stoke across the West, our Backcountry Film Festival premiere, Camp Hale, and grassroots success in Alaska.
