Do The Local Thing!

Lake Tahoe has been a hub for wilderness film, from countless appearances is some the worlds best ski and snowboard films, to the local riders who make those films possible. Attend this year’s Back Country Film festival created by the Winter Wildlands Alliance and help raise money to preserve our winter environment. This event takes place February 10th 7pm at the Sawtooth Ridge Cafe.

Winter Wildlands Alliance created the Backcountry Film Festival in 2005 to help grassroots and professional filmmakers to show audiences their love of the winter outdoors. Since then, the annual festival has been shown in many towns and cities around the world, and raised thousands of dollars to help efforts to preserve our winter environment.

Now over half a decade old, the festival highlights the fun and magic of our country’s winter backcountry. At the same time, it raises funds to help Winter Wildlands Alliance and our grassroots groups to continue to protect wild areas throughout the country.
