Giveaway tickets will be available for purchase throughout the evening for a chance to win exciting prizes. Light snacks, beer, wine, and nonalcoholic beverages will also be available for purchase.
All proceeds from the event support the CMC's Snow Rangers Program, a partnership with the U.S. Forest Service that promotes responsible recreation in Colorado's winter backcountry. CMC Snow Rangers patrol high-use recreation areas throughout the winter season, providing visitor education, fostering stewardship, reducing user conflicts, and helping protect the natural resources that make these landscapes special. Through outreach, partnerships, and on-the-ground engagement, CMC Snow Rangers help ensure these treasured winter destinations remain healthy and accessible for future generations.
The Backcountry Film Festival celebrates the people, places, and stories that define human-powered adventure. At a time when public lands face increasing pressures from reduced funding, growing visitation, and competing land-use demands, these films remind us why conservation matters and what is at stake: wild winters, deep snow, thriving ecosystems, and vibrant mountain communities.
Gather your friends, support winter conservation, and enjoy an unforgettable evening of storytelling, inspiration, and community. Together, we can help keep the spirit of backcountry adventure alive, one snowy story at a time.
