Eastern Oregon Backcountry Festival 2022

February 4-6, 2022

THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS! WE RAISED OVER $11,000 FOR THE WALLOWA AVALANCHE CENTER. THANKS TO YOU!

The 10th annual Eastern Oregon Backcountry Festival is going to be a bit different this year due to the global pandemic. Instead of our annual film night and fundraiser we’ll be offering an online auction through the month of January to raise funds for the Wallowa Avalanche Center. We will also be hosting a virtual online screening of the Winter Wildlands Alliance -Backcountry Film Festival starting of Friday, Feb. 4th and going through the 20th. For Saturday, we’ve brought back the Kip Rand Memorial Backcountry Race, along with offering several free snow safety clinics throughout the day. On Sunday, join WAC forecasters for a tour into the A-Lakes backcountry to assess snow conditions and learn about the local terrain. The event is a collaboration between the Outdoor Adventure Program, Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort, and Wallowa Avalanche Center.

All the events on Saturday and Sunday are free to attend and participate in. All the fundraising is for the Wallowa Avalanche Center (WAC) and we want people to know that even small donations can make a big difference in helping us promote safe and informed decision-making in the backcountry of Northeast Oregon.

A special thanks goes out to this year’s local festival sponsors: Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort, Winding Waters River Expeditions, Side A Brewing, Wallowa Alpine Huts, Robert Brooks Painting and Contracting, and Kokanee Inn for their support.

Here is a list of some of our fabulous festival sponsors. A big thanks to all of them for donating gear, services, products, and $$$.
