The WCMAC generates avalanche forecasts for the west-central Montana forecast area and provides information to the public regarding terrain, weather, and snow conditions that contribute to avalanche danger. U.S. Forest Service employees assist the WCMAC on the Bitterroot, Nez Perce-Clearwater, and Lolo National Forests, contributing field observations and administrative support.The Board of Directors collaborates with the National Ski Patrol and regional riding clubs to install and maintain Backcountry Access Beacon Training Parks and Are you beeping? beacon checkers throughout west central Montana. 174780 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 15 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false true true false X Patrick Black 4062397241 PO BOX 72 MISSOULA MT 59806 PATRICK BLACK Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 71680 0 0 JASON HARBY Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NICK VANHORN BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BEN ADKISON BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DOUG HUTCHEON President 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 EMILY JOCHEM Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BETSY DEFRIES-CRASKE BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEANA DEWIRE BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 71680 0 false false false 0 9438 137342 16266 163046 EDUCATION INCOME 87000 87000 MERCHANDISE 307 307 87307 0 0 0 0 0 7803 9438 4417 3386 0 0 0 253739 87307 0 0 0 0 71680 71680 0 92643 92643 0 4269 4269 13026 13026 5668 5668 0 2205 2205 0 0 0 9326 9326 3871 3871 19568 19568 0 0 7 7 833 833 0 2439 2439 0 0 0 4924 4924 EDUCATION 11208 11208 SMALL EQUIPMENT & MAINTENANCE 4793 4793 0 246460 174780 71680 0 75351 28747 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12520 12520 0 0 0 0 0 0 75356 28752 5963 4380 137300 85000 143263 89380 X -67907 -60628 -67907 -60628 75356 28752 7279 X false false false X 85912 138734 71370 196318 170849 663183 0 0 85912 138734 71370 196318 170849 663183 0 663183 0 0 0 663183 141124 1.00000 1.00000 X 12520 12520 258156 258156 -4417 -4417 253739 250877 4417 4417 246460 246460 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S FUNDRAISING EXPENSE $4417 false PRAY FOR SNOW 17241 9438 7803 2215 1000 1202 17241 9438 7803 2215 1000 1202 4417 3386 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWS THE 990 AND REPORTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
