About

For over fifty years skiers have been touring and turning on Togwotee Pass. Recently, we have come together for a common goal: the preservation of backcountry skiing on Togwotee Pass. Motorized use, including snowmobiles and snowcats, near Togwotee Pass has reached a level that conflicts with our values of quiet, solitude, and pristine air and snow. These values were once available at Togwotee, but now are greatly threatened. Our purpose is to gain federal designation of lands on Togwotee Pass exclusively for skiers, snowboarders, snowshoers, and others who enjoy the quiet and serenity of non-motorized winter backcountry experiences.

Togwotee Pass Backcountry Alliance promotes :
-A safe experience free from conflict
-A recreational opportunity on National Forest lands
-A backcountry experience free of noise and air pollution
-Initiate a collaborative process between motorized and non-motorized users
-Correspond with the Forest Service about the upcoming Forest Service Plan that affects all users
