To kick off 2023, our partner GPS app, onX Backcountry, is supporting local avalanche centers and their incredible work.
Avalanche centers provide life-saving information about snowpack, stability, and avalanche risk in daily forecasts for local regions during the winter season. There are 24 avalanche forecasting centers that onX works with to bring you an exceptional map that’s built for backcountry touring. Just like the snowpack, funding can be unstable for smaller nonprofits such as these. Join @onxbackcountry and @sierranevada in supporting avalanche forecasting centers by purchasing a Premium onX Membership today!

Fires provide nourishment and warmth in the backcountry, but the dangers they pose can’t be ignored. How we plan our adventures with respect to wildfires, smoke levels, and ever-changing forest landscapes has to be the top priority for any recreationalist nowadays.
Join @onxbackcountry for a night with @leavenotraceorg alongside famed wildland firefighter, author, and photographer @stuartpalley . They’ll discuss what they’re seeing in the forest fire world, how they’re planning their own backcountry excursions, and how you can plan and prepare for recreating in the age of wildfires.
Register with the link in bio 🔥
This June, our GPS navigation and mapping app @onxbackcountry is donating $10 to @leavenotraceorg for every onX Backcountry membership purchased through onXmaps.com. At Outdoor Project, trail restoration and stewardship is a core value of the community. While we live for exploration, there’s this fine line of enjoying our adventures to the fullest and preserving the places we play.

New Columbia Gorge permits required to access the scenic historic highway and the “waterfall corridor” began Tuesday joining other required permits and parking passes in the area.
The new permits are aimed at tamping down crowding in the Columbia River Gorge from Bridal Veil to Ainsworth State Park — what are your thoughts on the new mandatory permits in this area?

California has—count ‘em—nine national parks, the most of any other state in the U.S. With respect to parts of the Pacific Northwest, and perhaps parts of the East Coast, there simply isn’t anywhere else in the country that demonstrates the kind of ecological diversity that can be found in California.
From towering temperate rainforests with the largest arboreal organisms on the planet to the lowest point in North America, a desiccated and scorching desert wasteland, to iconic glacier-cut granite valleys and active volcanoes, to sandy beach shores and Pacific islands—California has it all. We’ve tackled each of the nine to bring you the highlights, like in bio for the full article.

This time of year, chances are, you’ve got a bucket list filled with outdoor objectives you’re dreaming about ticking off the list. Perhaps that list includes a week-long backpacking trip deep in the high country? Or maybe you're gearing up for a multi-week thru hike or an iconic summit climb? Whatever might be on your adventure list, spring is the season when bigger objectives increasingly beckon many of us. It's a good time to check in on our preparation and training and ask ourselves, "are we feeling ready for the challenge?" Hopefully we are and this spring/summer we'll be able to push ourselves outside our comfort zones to accomplish new objectives that may have seemed beyond our reach not all that long ago.

The fastest growing segment of the skiing market is backcountry. With more participation, we’re seeing unprecedented numbers of avalanche-related incidents. For avalanche forecasters, this means greater demands on frequency of observations, duration of the season they’re covering, and geography they’re reporting on. Their forecasts allow for more informed decisions, which can lead to safer days in the mountains.
There are 25 avalanche centers nationwide and budgetary challenges are often a struggle they have to contend with every season.
In November, our GPS navigation and mapping app @onxbackcountry , is donating $10 for every membership purchased on their website to support avalanche forecasting (you choose your local center).
Stay more informed this winter with onX Backcountry’s Avalanche Forecast and Slope Angle map layers and #SupportYourForecast.
