Avalanche Aware is a free, easy place to start if you’re heading into snow-covered mountains. Built by AIARE, CAIC, and NWAC, it offers a simple first step into avalanche education for anyone, anywhere.

Each winter, CAIC forecasters and educators host free public events across Colorado to build avalanche awareness and backcountry safety skills. Find a stop near you and join the conversation.

Buying a Keep Colorado Wild Pass helps fund improvements to Colorado’s avalanche safety program. Your pass supports CAIC forecasting, education, and tools that keep people safer in the mountains.
