USAW 2016 is in the books! A huge thanks to all our sponsors, speakers, volunteers and everyone who attended for making it a success and a great learning experience. The local snow and avalanche workshops held across the country continue to an economical and excellent forum for advanced avalanche education.

Whole foods event:

Between now and Jan 15th: Donate to the Utah Avalanche Center by shopping at Whole Foods Market Utah! when you visit Whole Foods Market Trolley Square, Sugarhouse & Cottonwood Heights locations and bring in your re-usable bags, Whole Foods will donate a dime per bag to Utah Avalanche Center when the cashier asks if you want to “keep or donate” your bag credit and you say “DONATE".

This is part of the Whole Foods “Your Change Creates Change”program, created to assist local non-profits!

This is a fantastic opportunity for us to partner with Whole Foods and raise funding for our avalanche forecasting and education programs! We hope you’ll stop into Whole Foods Market, do some shopping and bring your reusable bags! The three participating locations are:

Whole Foods Market Trolley Square - 544 S 700 E, Salt Lake City

Whole Foods Market Sugarhouse - 1131 E. Wilmington Ave., Salt Lake City

Whole Foods Market Cottonwood Heights - 6930 S. Highland Drive, Cottonwood Heights

We're getting our weather stations back on line. For real-time snow depth, winds, and temperatures click here.

This is a great time of year to schedule one of our free avalanche awareness presentations.
