What Sponsors Support
We provide quality information and promote avalanche awareness
In northwest Montana, avalanche awareness is essential for winter preparedness. Our programs help improve the chances of safe backcountry outcomes for recreationists in avalanche-prone terrain.
The Flathead Avalanche Center publishes around 150 daily advisories every winter for three forecast zones encompassing 1.2 million acres of public land. The Friends of the Flathead Avalanche Center educates more than 2,000 students each season, reaching a wide audience including motorized users, youth, women’s-specific groups, search and rescue organizations, and partner land management agencies. We also provide our community with weather stations, courses, events, and public outreach around avalanche safety. Learn more about our mission here.
Avalanche safety matters to you and your business
Our sponsors are a cherished group of businesses who invest in avalanche safety because of the benefits it brings to the community. In gratitude for their support, we hold our sponsors in the highest regard and never miss an opportunity to sing their praises to our audiences. Lots of eyes see the brands that support our mission, with 300,000 visitors to our website annually, 8,000 followers on Instagram, and 1,700 newsletter subscribers.
