Mountain Safety Collective (MSC) relies in large part on our public membership program to sustain our professional backcountry conditions reports and related initiatives for Australian backcountry users. As a not-for-profit association, every new and renewing MSC member fee helps keep observation and forecasting teams in the Victoria and New South Wales mountains.
When you sign up through the membership drive period, you receive benefits like a member kit, 35% off MSC merchandise, exclusive access to MSC maps and guides and discounts from key sponsors.
New and existing MSC members go into the draw for over $10,000 in prizes from our generous supporters with weekly winners drawn throughout the membership drive from May 1 - June 11.
