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.

Well we are pretty excited to have the National Weather Service providing point forecasts for some of our more heavily visited backcountry areas. These point forecasts focus in on specific areas of interest using the best telemetry and modeling available to our Pendleton NWS forecasters, providing a better picture as to what to expect weather wise in these areas. Take a look here . Link will live under the local weather drop down above.

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.
