Mission Statement

Oregon Backcountry Alliance (OBA) is a local grassroots partner of Winter Wildlands Alliance. OBA is dedicated to the region's human-powered snowsports and their effects on our environment, wildlife, and the community. Our mission is to promote public safety, community, stewardship, and sustainable access for Oregon winter backcountry users.  OBA addresses these goals through dialogue, public information, outreach, and advocacy. Launched in 2020 during a global pandemic, OBA is currently focusing on protecting access for all peoples to public lands and being inclusive by helping unify all the groups and resources already active in Oregon.  OBA welcomes your ideas, energy, and support.
