The fourteenth annual Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Film Festival will show in Gunnison on Thursday, February 7th at Western Colorado University’s University Center. All proceeds will benefit High Country Conservation Advocates' Water Program. High Country Conservation Advocates protects the health and natural beauty of the land, rivers, and wildlife in and around Gunnison County now and for future generations. Produced each year as a celebratory, backcountry community event by the Winter Wildlands Alliance, the 14th Annual Backcountry Film Festival film line-up is full of snowy, cinematic adventure sure to inspire both the local backcountry and general communities. Winter Wildlands Alliance is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving winter wildlands and a quality human-powered snow sports experience on public lands.
