The State of the Snowpack (SOTS) is a BC Public Safety Society passionate about empowering backcountry recreationists with local-as-it-gets snowpack information on a community-by-community basis so that we can all return home from the winter backcountry safely every day.

Alongside Avalanche Canada’s Regional Avalanche Forecasts, State of the Snowpack’s Live Event in-depth snowpack updates and our short-form video snowpack updates serve as other tools in the toolbelt of decision-making for backcountry recreationists! 

When it comes to understanding the snowpack,  Avalanche Canada provides the bigger regional picture, and State Of The Snowpack provides the local-as-it-gets one.
