With more skiers and riders heading out-of-bounds, the UAC provides critical avalanche and mountain weather information to help educate skiers make life-or-death decisions in the backcountry. UAC forecasters issue avalanche warnings and advisories daily, highlighting when conditions are especially hazardous or unusual. This information is crucial not only for skiers and snowboarders, but for snowshoers, cross-country skiers, snowmobilers, hunters, hikers, Boy Scout troops and anyone else who gets after it in Utah’s mountains.
Because of rising costs and increased demand on services, the UAC is working to raise $36,000 to offset budget shortfalls for 2009/2010. By purchasing these special discounted lift tickets at your favorite resort skiers and riders greatly impact the Center’s ability to continue its education, outreach and avalanche forecasting programs. This discounted ski pass program is the Utah’s ski industry’s way to bolster the UAC and its outstanding resources.
