Winter Wildlands Alliance www.winterwildlands.org
Want to limit/eliminate snowmobile use on public lands and eliminate snowmobiles from off trail travel.

Corporate Partners: http://winterwildlands.org/our-partners/corporate-partners/
REI, Cliff Bar, Patagonia, North Face, New Belgium and more.

Backcountry Partners http://winterwildlands.org/our-partners/backcountry-partners/
AIARE and many more.

Our Successes
• In 2013 WWA secured a historic Federal Court Ruling directing the U.S. Forest Service to manage snowmobiles under the same guidelines used for all other off-road vehicles on national forest lands.
• Working with four coalition partners, WWA’s 14-year campaign to protect Yellowstone National Park resulted in a long-term winter use plan that eliminated the noisiest, most polluting vehicles, put a reasonable cap on total over-snow vehicle use and led to a remarkable recovery for the unique winter ecosystem, wildlife and visitor enjoyment in our nation’s first national park and most iconic winter sanctuary.

Our Values
• We see human-powered winter recreation as an appropriate use of our public lands, and advocate for land management practices that support high-quality experiences for skiers, snowboarders, snowshoers, mountaineers and other quiet adventurers in the winter backcountry. Above all, we are committed to achieving our mission.

I have had no problems with my KLIM gear which far surpasses North Face. I get packs by companies that support the snowmobile industry(BCA and many others). Mike Duffy

Its a dam shame Northface has to do that crap cuz their backpacks and fleeces are unmatched in durability and design.


Really? I find all their products are crap for "real" outdoor use. Klim or any other company that actually makes clothing for snowmobiling is 10x better.

No use for north face and their over priced junk.

I wrote off all these companies a few years back, because of their support to WWA. To bad we have to see that KEEN ad on this forum...it makes me sick to my stomach, every time I look at it.

Gortex is missing from that list...


They support the Conservation Alliance which in turn grants money to the WWA.

SO if your buying gortex products your are supporting the closing of your riding areas.

05900,
I hear that on rescues. They say "I hate snowmobiles." I have told people. "That's fine, I'll go get my skis and be back in about 4 hours. It will then take about 8 hours to get you out."

I would suggest that we all write to these companies and let them know we will not buy their products.

Here is a taste of irony. Keen is on the $2500 sponser lists and yet when you scroll to the top of Snowest and what do you see? A Keen ad.

Just something to think about folks.

I would also suggest that anyone going to the trouble to write them, point out that they are actively supporting limiting access to the great outdoors for the handicapped. Now that's a PR nightmare that should be shoved in these guys faces.
