BACKCOUNTRY FILM FESTIVAL COMES TO BOZEMAN
Celebrating the Winter Human-Powered Experience
BOZEMAN, MONTANA – The Montana Backcountry Alliance will host the 13th Annual Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Film Festival in Bozeman on Friday February 16 at the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture. All proceeds benefit access to human powered recreation, including plowing Hyalite Road.
Montana Backcountry Alliance (MBA) was created in 2005 to provide a unified voice for an otherwise loose and solitary band of backcountry skiers and riders. Montana Backcountry Alliance works to protect, expand and enhance non-motorized backcountry winter recreation areas. The organization is made up of volunteers who strive to build a community of traditional, human-powered winter recreationists while preserving Montana’s quiet winter wild lands.
The Backcountry Film Festival is produced by Winter Wildlands Alliance as a celebration of the human-powered experience and a gathering place for the backcountry snowsports community.
