Through our technology team <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nwac.us\/nwac-staff\/\">Avy<\/a><\/strong>, we\u2019re leading a collaborative effort between avalanche centers to build shared digital tools that make avalanche and mountain weather information more accessible, consistent and effective for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avy is made up of two products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AvyApp:<\/strong> A mobile app for iOS and Android that delivers avalanche forecasts, weather data, and field observations in a mobile-first format. Built and maintained by NWAC, it\u2019s now used nationwide, giving users quick (+ offline) access to the information they need to make safer decisions in the backcountry. <a href=\"https:\/\/nwac.us\/2023\/11\/30\/the-avy-app\/\">More on how and why NWAC built AvyApp<\/a>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AvyWeb:<\/strong> AvyWeb is a joint initiative between NWAC, the National Avalanche Center (NAC), the Sierra Avalanche Center (SAC) and the Sawtooth Avalanche Center (SAC). AvyWeb is a website platform that allows centers to manage their own sites within a shared system. Each center maintains its unique identity while sharing infrastructure, cross-center content, design improvements and user experience research that strengthen the entire system.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why NWAC Is Leading the Effort<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NWAC\u2019s technology innovation is a key part of its mission because it broadens the access to backcountry forecasts and education by making them more accessible in multiple modalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost all of the avalanche centers in the U.S. use a shared tool called the <a href=\"https:\/\/avalanche.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NAC-USDA-Forest-Service-Avalanche-Forecast-Platform.pdf\">Avalanche Forecast Platform (AFP)<\/a> that forecasters use to publish forecasts, manage observations and more. The AFP set the stage for what is possible when centers work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the largest and most well-resourced AFP centers, NWAC saw an opportunity to take this collaboration further by creating shared user-facing tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Collaboration Over Duplication<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, having a unified system allows us to leverage technology best practices, design insights and collective data to improve user experience over time. We believe consistency in forecasting products is positive for all backcountry users.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, every avalanche center managed its own website, rebuilding from scratch every 5-7 years. The approach required staff to be technical experts or to hire technical experts on a limited budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By pooling our efforts, smaller centers gain access to technology they couldn\u2019t support on their own, while NWAC benefits from their feedback and shared investment. The Avy team handles the technology so avalanche center staff can focus on what they\u2019re best at.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where We\u2019re At<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both AvyWeb and AvyApp are launched and stable with the stage set for new functionality. As much as new designs and functionality are exciting, we want to move cautiously through building to ensure every dollar spent will be well-used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AvyApp is in a stable place where we are starting to prioritize new features.&nbsp;There are 15 centers on the app!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With AvyWeb, both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sierraavalanchecenter.org\/\">Sierra<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sawtoothavalanche.com\/\">Sawtooth<\/a> launched on V1 of the platform. We also built a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanavalancheassociation.org\/find-a-course-1\">course catalog<\/a> for the American Avalanche Center. This product can be embedded anywhere on the internet and will soon be embedded in avalanche center websites nationwide. There is a ton of polishing, general development and small features we\u2019re cranking on. We\u2019ll transition to a holiday season of maintenance and bug fixing with a pause on any new features before ramping back up in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where We\u2019re Headed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The roadmap is extensive, but here are some of the features worth highlighting, as we wouldn\u2019t be able to accomplish them without the unified platforms. NWAC will be on the new site in the 25\/26 season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AvyApp<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improved Observations: <\/strong>forecasters would like observations to include a few more details\u2014like on the web form. We\u2019re working on how to accomplish that while improving the user experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Map and Navigation UX: <\/strong>polishes some of the navigation and map experience allowing users to navigate between all centers via the map rather than choosing in settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Push Notifications: <\/strong>we\u2019re considering notifications for a number of scenarios. ie. new forecasts, forecast changes, etc.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AvyWeb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Global content: <\/strong>Like a national dataset of avalanche courses that can display in each center\u2019s website, we\u2019re also planning to standardize a lot of content. For example, rather than each center managing a \u2018How to Read the Forecast\u2019 page, we can standardize the content, manage it centrally and display it locally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location Based Events: <\/strong>When a center, or avalanche course provider, creates an event it will live in a global collection of data that filters into each centers site based on location parameters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forecast User Experience: <\/strong>Eventually, we\u2019ll be redesigning the forecast experience. This will require professional input, user research and design. We are asking questions like: how do users navigate to an avalanche forecast? Do users know which zone they are traveling to? Is there a better way to supplement the forecast with observation or weather data and what is the best way to display that?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integrated Data: <\/strong>Users may be able to interface with their donation history, engagement data, site\/app preferences. Eventually we\u2019re interested in knowing where folks go after they read the forecast. We\u2019ve considered asking users to opt into sharing their Strava routes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mockups\/work in progress:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19110814\/wx-station-mock-ups-828x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19110814\/wx-station-mock-ups-828x1024.png 828w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19110814\/wx-station-mock-ups-242x300.png 242w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19110814\/wx-station-mock-ups-768x950.png 768w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19110814\/wx-station-mock-ups-1242x1536.png 1242w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19110814\/wx-station-mock-ups.png 1248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/events-mock-up.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25536\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19111142\/app-mockups-950x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19111142\/app-mockups-950x1024.png 950w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19111142\/app-mockups-278x300.png 278w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19111142\/app-mockups-768x828.png 768w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19111142\/app-mockups-1425x1536.png 1425w, https:\/\/files.nwac.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19111142\/app-mockups.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northwest Avalanche Center (NWAC) is leading the charge to simplify and modernize how forecasts are delivered across the nation.
