We are a national, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to avalanche safety.
Our primary purpose is educating and informing the public about avalanche hazards and how to avoid getting caught in one.
STAY SAFE - KNOW BEFORE YOU GO - follow the 5 steps
" It doesn’t matter if you have made thousands of good calls – all it takes is one bad call and that is one too many. Some days the mountains are screaming GET OUT OF HERE and some days they are saying come on in – it’s time to party." - Jeremy Jones
Do you know when to back off and when it’s good to go? The Know Before You Go avalanche avoidance program will get you started down the path of learning the language of the mountains and becoming a better and back country traveller.
Avalanche NZ is stoked to be able to bring you this great production in conjunction with our Nth American colleagues. A special thanks to Trent Meisenheimer and his team for putting together this fantastic resource.
