New Partnership with MSC
19 June, 2024
Avalanche Training Australia is now proud to be further involved with the Mountain Safety Collective in their goal of supporting winter backcountry recreation in Victoria and NSW.
Our involvement now extends to taking part in field observations over the winter season which feeds into their reporting platform, collating observations from multiple areas. This data is used when the MSC's undertakes forecasting for their backcountry conditions reports.
These backcountry conditions reports align to international standards, providing daily observations and forecasts of all common hazards including weather, ice and avalanche. MSC has also coordinated the installation of Avalanche Training Centres in Mt Hotham and Thredbo.
Forecasts cover both the Main Range and North East Victoria areas and will be a great resource for all backcountry enthusiasts over this and the coming winters.
The MSC continues to grow and develop new ways to assist the Australian backcountry community in enjoying their time in the mountains safely and we will continue to work with them towards this common goal.
