Even though our ‘Support Your Forecast’ campaign has ended, the need for funding for avalanche centers is still present. You can still support your local avalanche center when you buy onX Backcountry. Learn More here.
Why Support Avalanche Centers?
Avalanche centers provide life-saving information about snowpack, stability, and avalanche risk in daily forecasts for local regions during the winter season. There are 24 avalanche forecasting centers that onX is working with to bring you an exceptional map that’s built for backcountry touring. Just like the snowpack, funding can be very unstable for smaller nonprofits such as these.
