Welcome to the Central Oregon Avalanche Association

COAA has been founded by a group of Central Oregon winter recreationalists to promote increased avalanche awareness and champion increased local forecasting and tracking opportunities along the Cascade mountains of Central Oregon. We are not a Forecast Center and do not produce formalized forecasts or advisories at this time. We are a 501c3 Non-Profit built by people like you! Don't hesitate to contact us at info@coavalanche.org with any and all questions.

Special Announcement

 

Keep in mind how current trends may be affecting the snowpack, any new snowfall, and associated stability. Length of day and height of sun will allow solar effects to become a bigger player as we move deeper into spring. Our closest official forecast has some pertinent information that may be worth considering....view it here.

 

Keep an eye out for those natural indicators of instability and if you are seeing something (good, bad, or indifferent) let others know through our observation page here.

Annoucements and News:

Our Know Before You Go program has come to a close for the 2011/2012 season.  This free program is a basic avalanche awareness presentation aimed at highlighting some introductory concepts and tools for travelling in avalanche terrain. A big thanks to all those that made our most successful year particularly Good Life Brewing, Kevin Grove, and Tim Peterson. 

Please contact us if your group would like to arrange a KBYG to be brought to you for the 2012/2013 season. More information can be found here
