The whitebark pine is an iconic, slow-growing pine native to the high mountain ranges of the western United States and Canada. It is a symbol of endurance and deep time, protector of wild snowscapes and watersheds. It is an ancient keystone species, center of life for the harsh subalpine ecosystems favored by Clark’s nutcrackers, grizzlies and backcountry skiers. It is also the only tree of broad distribution that is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.

Winter Wildlands Alliance’s Whitebark Pine Society is a leadership giving society for major donors who support our work and programs at a level of $1,000 or more annually. Whitebark Society members power our mission to protect and steward America’s wildest snowscapes for ourselves and future generations. They have an unparalleled opportunity to influence the quality and sustainability of backcountry skiing.

Whitebark Society donors enjoy timely insider communications on national and local policy and program developments, exclusive custom swag, free subscriptions, priority recognition in our Trail Break Magazine, gear discounts, exclusive hut trip invites, opportunities for bespoke guided expeditions, and VIP access to our annual Backcountry Film Festival World Premiere in Boise, Idaho.
