The program is put together by Winter Wildlands Alliance, and celebrates the power and spirit of humans in winter. The 2025-26 winter season is the 21st anniversary of the Backcountry Film Festival! This year showcases a dynamic lineup of short documentaries and ski films that transport audiences straight to the heart of winter. Adventure, love, travel, ski culture, ice, pain, friendship, and DEEP POWDER—you’ll find it all as the festival brings these powerful stories to towns around the world.
