Presented by Winter Wildlands Alliance, the touring festival showcases 10 films telling the stories of people in the snowsports community and their adventures in the backcountry.

Funds from the screening support The Lands Council, an environmental nonprofit dedicated to preserving forests, water and wildlife in the region, and the Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center, which works to increase avalanche awareness and advisories for the public.
