The CTA Chapter program–formerly the Vermont Backcountry Alliance (VTBC)–exists to protect, advance and advocate for human-powered backcountry skiing and snowboarding in Vermont. The goal of this program is to facilitate public access to backcountry terrain while promoting the conservation and responsible management of our mountain environment.
