Get Involved

Here are the top three ways to show up for avalanche safety

Observations

Share what you saw 

Field observations are the foundation of our daily forecast. They help validate predicted avalanche activity, alert us to snowpack and weather variations, and ultimately enable us to provide accurate descriptions of avalanche hazards.

We are so fortunate and grateful to have an active community of public observers sharing what they see in the mountains.

Join the board or a committee

This is the best way to roll up your sleeves and add capacity. Get started by joining our NRSAW or Education committees, which are open to the public.

If you’re keen to invest more time, the FOFAC Board of Directors is seeking new members with legal or development experience.

Volunteer

Events

Let’s get together

We believe that a more connected avalanche community is more informed and more resilient. So come on out to our workshops, beacon clinics, and other events! We kick off the season from November to March. Many events are free, and any raffles or ticket sales support our safety programs.
