The Utah Avalanche Center Is Fundraising To Rebuild Their Website

The Utah Avalanche Center (UAC) is an important organization in the Utah recreation world. The UAC is an incredible resource for avalanche conditions throughout the snow season and provides daily forecasts, numerous educational resources, classes, and events. Notably, the daily forecasts provided by the UAC are a free and publicly accessible service that people across Utah rely on when making decisions about how and where to travel in the backcountry.

Many of the UAC's community resources are accessed through their website. Currently, the UAC is working to fundraise to rebuild their website platform. This rebuild is vital to ensuring continued access to UAC digital resources.

Here's a breakdown of what different amounts of money can support (from the UAC website ).

• $15 : Cost to send 1 SMS notification of changing avalanche conditions ( sign up here ).
• $100 : Cost to publish 2 backcountry observations
• $250 : One month of daily forecast emails across 8 regions.
