Send a Backcountry Experience Report

It is crucial that land managers hear from skiers and snowshoers about their backcountry experiences on public lands. This information also helps Winter Wildlands and grassroots groups work with land managers to determine the appropriate recreation management action for particular lands.

Please tell us about your experience, whether in Yellowstone or your own backyard. Include both positive and negative experiences, such as: incidents of conflict or cooperation between different backcountry user groups, violations of and/or compliance with use designations, safety concerns, environmental and wildlife observations.
