Author: Wes Lloyd
Print Submit  | Review 
The Northern Colorado chapter of the backcountry snowsports alliance is conducting a user survey of all people who make use of the Cameron Pass area for backcountry winter recreation.

The Backcountry Snowsports Alliance is a Colorado not-for-profit organization. We are a coalition of backcountry skiers, snowshoers, and snowboarders that strive to promote dialogue among backcountry users, work with land managers to develop sound winter management practices, and promote safety in the backcountry.

We are seeking to gain an understanding of the demographics of our backcountry community in the Cameron Pass area. Your feedback will greatly help our organization focus its efforts in preserving and protecting our backcountry resources in Northern Colorado.
