| Who we are: |
|
The “Friends” organization was founded in the Fall of 2002 by a group of local citizens concerned with the impact of budgetary shortfalls on the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center. Our mission is to help support the operations of the US Forest Service’s Avalanche Center in their efforts to enhance public awareness of backcountry avalanche hazards and safety measures, promote winter snow safety and provide information concerning snow conditions and weather to winter recreationalists throughout the Mount Shasta area.
We also utilize our avid group of local volunteers to raise money and enable the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center to purchase additional weather stations and therefore provide better information to the public.
Modeled after other Friends organizations throughout the country, our group is associated with, and falls under the non-profit umbrella of the American Avalanche Association. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. |
