The Backcountry Snowsports Alliance
|
Many of us here at OR have snow sport connections to Colorado, and through the work of the BSA we can play a part in the preservation of human powered adventure there. BSA’s efforts to “cooperatively resolve conflicts among backcountry users” is a worthy and challenging mission.
From www.backcountryalliance.org:
The Backcountry Snowsports Alliance represents winter backcountry recreationalists by advocating the creation, preservation, and management of non-motorized areas on public lands. We work to preserve backcountry areas for quiet human-powered use, promote winter backcountry safety and ethics, and cooperatively resolve conflicts among backcountry users.
The BSA is a Colorado not-for-profit organization. We are a coalition of backcountry skiers, snowshoers, and snowboarders that strives to:
- Promote dialogue among user groups
- Communicate with members to learn their interests and educate them on issues through this website and the BSA newsletter
- Back smaller groups and BSA Chapters to promote solutions to local issues
- Inventory areas in Colorado and identify areas in need of our work
- Work with land managers and lawmakers
- Attend meetings and advocate for non-motorized interests
- Network with other non-profits
- Promote safety in the backcountry through regular events such as the Backcountry Skill Series
