Snow Might Be Months Away, But We’re Already Gearing Up

While snowy days may feel like a distant daydream in the summer heat, the West Central Montana Avalanche Foundation is hard at work preparing for the season ahead.

This summer, we’ve been busy planning, adapting, and navigating the evolving landscape of what it means to operate as a nonprofit avalanche center. One thing remains clear: we can’t do it without you.

Help Us Reach 400 Members by October

We’re launching a two-month Membership Drive with the goal of doubling our membership and reaching 400 members before our annual Pray for Snow fundraiser in October.

To kick things off, we’re throwing a summer celebration at Western Cider, and you’re invited.

🍻 Membership Drive Party at Western Cider

📅 When: Friday, August 8 | 5–8 PM
📍 Where: Western Cider, Missoula
👥 Who: Open to the public. Bring your backcountry buddies.
🎁 What: Free swag, raffle prizes, good times, and great company

Whether you’re already a member or just learning about what we do, this event is a chance to connect with the community, support your Avalanche Center, and enjoy a summer evening with fellow mountain lovers.

Let’s build something powerful together.

We can’t wait to see you there.

With gratitude,
The WCMAF Team
