The goal of Granite Backcountry Alliance is to advance the sport of backcountry skiing in New Hampshire and Western Maine by providing low-impact human-powered backcountry skiing opportunities to the public through the creation, improvement and maintenance of ski glades.

WILD CORN

“The key piece to our strategy is to focus not just on the WMNF, but also develop complementary glade options in contiguous areas including state, municipal and third party properties. The underlying rationale is we are digging after something deeper – such as building communities around outdoor winter recreation.”

— Tyler Ray, Granite Chief
