Come out for the Backcountry Film Festival to immerse yourself in all that makes snowsports magical.
The Backcountry Film Festival will wow with stories of adventure, ski culture, and environmental and climate activism; there’s something for everyone in this lineup of films. Beer, wine, and raffle tickets will be available for purchase at every location, to ensure you have a great time and leave with some sweet swag.
Celebrating the 13th year of Winter Wildlands Alliance’s Backcountry Film Festival, Friends of the Inyo is bringing a collection of short films to the Eastern Sierra. Friends of the Inyo will be showing the films at three locations along the 395 corridor to best serve the entirety of the Eastern Sierra.
The Backcountry Film Festival aims to celebrate the human powered experience, aligning with Friends of the Inyo’s desire to get people to engage with and care for their local public lands. Friends of the Inyo facilitates a number of ways to do so, be it volunteering at stewardship events or joining our Eastern Sierra Trail Ambassadors for an interpretive hike, all on some of the Eastern Sierra’s most special and
unique landscapes.
Winter Wildlands Alliance energizes the backcountry snowsports community with their annual Backcountry Film Festival. Winter Wildlands Alliance is a nonprofit organization working at the national level to inspire and educate the backcountry community to protect and care for their winter landscapes.
Funds raised at each screening stay in the local community to support human-powered recreation and conservation efforts, winter education and avalanche/safety programs, and to raise awareness of winter management issues.

We need donations so we can purchase more OHV barricades for the White mountains. Thanks
Barricades help guide those who aren’t clear on what is legal and what is not. Barricades also help stop those who don’t care what is legal and what is not.
