11th Annual Vermont Backcountry Forum

This year, in collaboration with the Catamount Trail Association, we are hosting a FREE screening of the Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Film Festival! The Film Screening will be split into 2 reels with our Raffle Drawing sandwiched in between! We are kicking things off at 6PM with a potluck, beverages available from Red Clover Ale Co., and displays from various BC chapters, partners, & vendors.

We have some pretty awesome prizes lined up for this year’s raffle. Over $6,500 in donated prizes from some of our generous partners, and sponsors! Raffle sales are live now through our website, and you don’t have to be present at the forum to win!
