Northwest Avalanche Center

The Northwest Avalanche Center (NWAC) is an organization that provides real-time avalanche hazard forecasts, analysis, and education for the mountainous regions of the Pacific Northwest. Their goal is to keep winter sports enthusiasts, outdoor workers, and rescue teams informed about current snow conditions and potential avalanche risks. By monitoring weather, snowpack stability, and terrain, NWAC helps people make safer decisions in avalanche-prone areas. Their forecasts and reports are accessible online, supporting safety and awareness during winter activities in mountains like the Cascades.
