New to the backcountry? This night is for you. Join us at the Backcountry Film Festival for an evening of inspiring films, great gear deals, and hands-on learning. Come early for our Happy Hour & Gear Sale and short clinics on backcountry communications, then stay for films that celebrate the wild winter landscapes we all love. **This film festival is a fundraiser for our Snow Rangers team, and all proceeds will go towards our winter conservation efforts. We've lost federal funding for this program, and your support is the only way that we can continue this important work. If you can't make it to the festival but would still like to support the Conservation team, please consider donating. Select the Golden or Salida dates above, click 'Get Your Tickets!', and click the 'I'd Just Like to Donate' button at the bottom.**

More Event Details:
Join us ahead of the films for a Happy Hour & Gear Sale starting at 5pm hosted by Out & Back along with tables from our non-profit partners and CMC schools and courses, as well a backcountry communications clinic based on Rocky Talkie's Community Channels. We'll have door prizes as well as raffle items with tickets available for purchase. Light snacks will be available for purchase and we'll be selling a variety of Sierra Nevada alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. There is an option to just buy tickets for the Gear Sale and not attend the films.
All proceeds from this event support Colorado Mountain Club’s Snow Rangers Program within our Conservation Department. CMC Snow Ranger program supports the U.S. Forest Service in patrolling, visitor education, user counts, partnership development and more. Professional Snow Rangers engage with backcountry users from December through April with a goal of mitigating environmental impacts and user conflict in high-use and remote winter recreation areas.

Backcountry Film Festival celebrates the heart of human-powered adventure and the people who make it possible. In a time when our public lands face mounting threats from funding cuts to industrial development, this festival reminds us what we’re fighting for: wild winters, deep snow, and vibrant mountain communities.
Grab your friends and help us keep the spirit of adventure alive one snowy story at a time!
