A poem to celebrate 50 years of NWAC, written by Mark Moore (NWAC Co-founder), October 2025

From our inaugural First Tracks Fest to the 19th annual Northwest Snow and Avalanche Workshop (NSAW), NWAC’s fall calendar was jam-packed.

We’re leading a collaborative effort to build digital tools that make avalanche and weather info more accessible, consistent and effective for all.

In 24–25, we learned that a weak La Niña doesn’t necessarily deliver the cool/wet conditions that fuel the deep mid-winter snowpacks we all hope for.

Through volunteering, you can earn NWAC memberships + membership gear and even a free AIARE Level 1, Level 2, or Rescue course.

We are excited to announce that the Northwest Avalanche Center’s 2024/25 Annual Report is now available!
