Enjoy human-powered winter adventure from your armchair as the Nordic and Backcountry Skier’s Alliance presents the Backcountry Film Festival.

The films will start at 7 p.m. tonight—Thursday, March 5—at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

There’ll be raffle prizes from local outdoor shops with proceeds going to the Sawtooth Avalanche Center and the Nordic and Backcountry Skier’s Alliance, which was formed to protect areas for human-powered recreation.

The film festival is presented in partnership with Winter Wildlands Alliance, a national nonprofit dedicated to protecting America’s wild snowscapes. It is on tour in a hundred cities.

This year’s films include “A Baffin Vacation: Love on Ice,” “Ridge to River,” about how Friends of Mission Ridge in the Cascade protect a beloved ridge from development, and “Let My People Go Skiing,” which follows a skier traversing ancestral lands in Alaska.

“Polar” documents a Norwegian skier’s unique approach to balancing fatherhood and finding epic lines. “Descents to Dunes” follows snowboarders surfing sand dunes. “40 Years on the Trail” documents conservationists’ partnership with landowners across Vermont to establish the longest cross country ski trail in the United States.

“Shaped by Ice” documents how art can communicate the science of how snowscapes are changing at alarming rates. “Adaptive Avalanche” goes to Cooke City, Mont., to redefine access in backcountry avalanche terrain. “Uncharted: The White Continent” takes skiers to Antarctica alongside penguins and seals. And “Going Home” follows four ladies surfing Alaska.

Tickets cost $20 for adults and $15 for students ages 13 through 17.
