Welcome aboard Mr. Latta!!! Good to see you aboard. I think it important to have the perspective of the backcountry Alliance on board here.
I know I have used sleds for access to areas, but also believe that some areas are perfectly fine with human powered access. There definitely needs to be a balance between the two!!

Good to see you here!!

Looking forward to this event! The film festival is being put on by the Inland Northwest Backcountry Alliance and has been a sell out success the past few years. (good idea to buy your tickets online) Panhandle Backcountry will be attending and we hope to see you there!

If you are unfamiliar with the Inland Northwest Backcountry Alliance and the work they do for human-powered winter recreation in our area, here's a bit I copied from their website:

The Inland Northwest Backcountry Alliance (formerly Stevens Peak Backcountry Coalition) is a grassroots organization of backcountry skiers and snowboarders, cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and climbers who value quiet human-powered winter recreation in the Inland Northwest. Our goals:

• Work toward the creation of a comprehensive and workable Winter Recreation Plan for the Stevens Peak Backcountry and other areas in our region.
• Educate others about the value of and opportunities for quiet human-powered winter recreation.

You can visit the organization at Ibackcountry.org if you want more information, maps or to support their mission.

Parking is free in the P1 lot off Mission Ave.

Thanks to everyone who came out! Turned out to be a great event and films with a full crowd.

It was nice meeting all of you and sharing our love for the mountains. Hope to see some of you posting your backcountry adventures on here soon!

Special thanks to John Latta and the INWBA for inviting us!
