Spring Thaw: Membership Thank You Party

Friday, April 18, 2025
6–8 PM
Headwaters Foundation Confluence Center | Downtown Missoula

Let’s raise a glass to you—our community.

As the snow melts in the valleys and our operating season winds down, we’re taking a moment to celebrate something truly special: you.

This spring, we’re hosting our first-ever Membership Thank You Party to honor everyone who stepped up, supported the Avalanche Center, and helped make our inaugural year of membership a success.

Your support made it possible to deliver timely weekend avalanche forecasts, offer essential education, and maintain a field presence—all in service of a safer, more informed backcountry community.

We couldn’t do it without you.

Join us for a heartfelt celebration featuring:

Free pizza and beer
Raffle prizes – including outdoor gear, gift cards, and more
Member-exclusive discounts on Avy merchandise
Meaningful connection with fellow mountain lovers

This event is free for current members.

A Community-Powered Avalanche Center

Unlike most avalanche centers in the U.S., we are a locally operated nonprofit organization. That means every forecast, every field report, and every educational offering is made possible by you—our members, donors, and supporters.

As we look ahead, we’re focused on building lasting support through public-private partnerships, grants, and sponsorships. But the most powerful and immediate support comes from the community we serve.

By joining us this spring, you’re doing more than celebrating a season—you’re investing in the future of your Avalanche Center.

Thank you for standing with us.

Your support keeps our backcountry community safe, informed, and ready to enjoy the mountains.

With gratitude,
—The WCMAF Team
