A Community-Powered Avalanche Center

We’re not government-run.

We’re not corporate.

We are your Avalanche Center—a grassroots nonprofit fueled by people who care deeply about this place, these mountains, and one another.

Every avalanche forecast, every field observation, every beacon training park, and every educational event—you make it all possible.

Your support powers the life saving services that keep our backcountry community safer, smarter, and ready to enjoy the mountains with confidence.

As we look ahead to deepening our impact and strengthening partnerships, one thing remains clear: Our greatest strength is you—our community.

Help Us Roll Forward — Missoula Gives

This Missoula Gives, we’re aiming to raise $7,000 to purchase a snowmobile trailer for our forecasters.

Snowmobiles are essential tools for reaching remote terrain, collecting critical snowpack data, and delivering timely, accurate avalanche forecasts. But without a reliable trailer, we can’t safely transport these machines—or fully serve the growing community that counts on us.

Owning our own trailer changes that. It means safer travel for our team, consistent access to the field, and greater reach for our work.

Whether it’s $5 or $5,000, every gift helps us move forward.

Every dollar brings us closer to our goal—and helps build a safer, more resilient winter community for all.

Donate today and be part of something bigger than any one storm or season.

Together, we’re creating a community-powered Avalanche Center—built to last.

Missoula Gives Ends on Friday, May 2nd, at 7 PM!

Missoula Gives is an online giving event that connects you to the local causes closest to your heart. A gift to the West Central Montana Avalanche Foundation during this campaign is an investment in the future of avalanche safety across our region.

Thank you for believing in this work—and for making it all possible.

With deep gratitude,
The WCMAF Team
