Mission

AAIC mdOur Mission: To support and promote avalanche forecasts, education, research, professional development, and networking of practitioners in the pursuit of healthy lifestyles and the reduction of unintentional injury and death. Please see AAIC Mission and Goals 2022 (.pdf)

The AAIC was founded in 2008 by a group of concerned citizens and earned 501 c3 Non-Profit status in December 2010. The organization currently supports five independent avalanche forecast centers in Alaska.

The organization was formed by an all volunteer team.  The organization takes pride in maintaining the highest standards in avalanche forecasting, educating and safety in the United States.  Our standards conform to guidelines set forth by the American Avalanche Association (A3) and the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE.)

The all volunteer governing body 2022 Board List (.pdf) is a team of dedicated professionals.  The organization operates thanks to the consistent effort of our Staff, tireless support from our many esteemed Volunteers, Members, Contributors  and through consistent and generous donations from our Supporters.
