The Utah Avalanche Center works to bring avalanche awareness to the community as well as resources that help people to be more knowledgable about avalanche safety. On top of avalanche forecasting, the UAC provides a "Know Before You Go" service that helps to educate skiers just starting out in avalanche terrain so that they can better understand the danger surrounding them and work to remain safe. The UAC provides many other opportunities to get out and get educated on avalanches.
