DEVELOPMENt

Fundraising season is upon us. We are rounding the corner on grant writing, and will soon make our sponsorship requests for next winter. With revised levels and benefits, now is a great time to sign up as season sponsor or support as an individual donor. Thanks in advance for your support!

EDUCATION

Our calendar is mapped out and we're already excited for next season. Many things will stay the same, but we do have some exciting changes on the horizon. We're excited to launch a State of the Snowpack series, hosted by local libationaries every other Friday starting in December. A forecaster will present for 30-40 mins on recent trends in the snowpack, then open the floor for audience questions and discussion.

FORECASTING

FAC plans a similar

forecasting schedule

for next winter - early December to early April. At a minimum, we'll publish products each day WMR is open, because of the easy access to avalanche terrain from the resort. If conditions warrant, we'll expand that schedule. A new weather station in the Whitefish Range (Details soon!) will improve our picture of conditions there. And a fifth forecaster will allow staff to conduct more fieldwork and regularly reach less-traveled corners of the forecast region.
