The Friends of Payette Avalanche Center (FPAC) is a non-profit organization formed in 1999. Our mission is to provide a community based forum to share avalanche information, to operate and maintain beacon basin training facilities in the area, to provide basic avalanche education to all types of winter recreationists, and to be a partner to the PAC in the West Central Mountains of Idaho.

The FPAC organization depends entirely on the support of volunteers and the generosity of the public to attain their fund-raising goals. As federal and state budgets for avalanche centers shrink, groups like the FPAC are doing more to fund local avalanche centers efforts to provide avalanche advisories and education. We need your help! Your support will enable the PAC to continue to provide current avalanche information, offer community education, and purchase necessary equipment.

Our end of season party is one last chance to gather with our forecasters and backcountry community before we transition to spring activities. We've saved our best for last, this year, so expect auctions, prizes, education, and socialization with new and old friends!
