Backcountry Ski Observations

As part of our partnership with the USFS, we are interested in gathering information on how glade zones and backcountry ski trails are being used. This helps us manage what we have responsibly and plan for the future.

If you’ve skied recently in one of the zones/trails that GBA works to maintain, please help us out by answering a few questions below. It should take two minutes or less. Thank you for your support!
