    2019 / 2020 annual report ABOUT US The CBAC is a 501c3 non-profit avalanche center Staff The unique and diverse snow climate, acres of pristine wilderness of the Elk Mountains and the remoteness of Crested Butte, Colorado, has presented challenges and limitations for Than Acuff statewide forecasting operations. The result is a need for accurate snow and avalanche information in the Gunnison Valley. From this need the Crested Butte Avalanche Center Executive Director (CBAC) was born in 2002. Unlike other government funded centers, the CBAC was Karen Williams started by volunteer forecasters issuing daily forecasts from a basement work station. Development Director Each year the CBAC strives to make huge improvements to meet the demands of our growing backcountry community. Forecasters our major goals each year are: Evan Ross Eric Morrow To provide the most accurate avalanche and weather information to Ian Havlick help all winter outdoor recreational users make the most informed Zach Kinler decisions when traveling in the winter backcountry environment. To secure enough funding to competitively pay and retain professional Board of Directors forecasters and staff, year after year. Keitha Kostyk To raise general public awareness about the Crested Butte Avalanche Center, President avalanches and safe backcountry travel through various community outreach events held throughout the winter.
