CAIC strives to minimize the economic and human impact of snow avalanches on the recreation, tourism, and commerce industries. Colorado has one of the most dangerous snowpacks in North America and typically accounts for one third of all avalanche fatalities in the United States. With the winter being in full swing, and the snowpack being incredibly tender thus far, it is important that CAIC continues to receive support so it can provide valuable information for those venturing into the backcountry. The center could not operate without the support of its friends and regular users through funding opportunities such as this event.
The Friends of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization created to support the CAIC, while contributing to avalanche awareness and education throughout the State of Colorado. CAIC achieves this mission through donations, grants, and fundraising events.
