Mountain caribou are currently red-listed in British Columbia, and have been the focus of forestry related conflicts for many years. Due to an increase in winter backcountry activities, however, there are growing concerns about the impact of these activities on caribou winter habitat use. This report addresses the potential impacts of four winter backcountry recreation activities on Mountain Caribou, including snowmobiling; heli-skiing; snow-cat skiing and backcountry skiing. Relative to other winter backcountry recreation activities, snowmobiling has the greatest perceived threat to mountain caribou. Management concerns for each Mountain Caribou subpopulation are reviewed, and the probable degree of threat associated with each recreational activity is identified. Interim management guidelines that are either currently in place, or could be considered as options to reduce potential impacts, are outlined. A research approach is suggested to objectively assess risks and answer key questions regarding backcountr
