AvyAvy is a collaborative effort between avalanche centers in the U.S. to upgrade and maintain consistent public facing technology for users across the nation.
The Avy team works alongside the National Avalanche Center (NAC) and the Avalanche Forecast Platform (AFP).
The Northwest Avalanche Center exists to increase avalanche awareness, reduce avalanche impacts, and equip the community with mountain weather and avalanche forecasts, education, and data.

Website platform
AvyWeb is a modern multi-tenant website platform.
The intention of the platform is to go beyond standardizing forecast products with streamlined content and improved user experience. Centers share website infrastructure and maintenance while preserving their unique identities.
By sharing a unified front end experience, we are able to learn and iterate from user interactions to continually improve our forecast, education and fundraising products.
Mobile app
Built by the Northwest Avalanche Center as a mobile-first experience.
Avalanche forecasts, weather forecasts, weather station data, and observations on iOS and Android.
It is now used by avalanche centers nationwide.
AvyWeb also runs the avalanche course catalog for the American Avalanche Association. A3-recognized providers use AvyWeb to manage their own course offerings, and the course listings and provider directory can be embedded on third-party sites as well.
