Avalanche Safety Information Exchange (InfoEx)

The InfoEx is a cooperative service managed by the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council (MSC) and has been running since 1998. It provides a daily exchange of technical snow, weather, and avalanche information between organizations and commercial businesses that actively manage avalanche hazards during the winter months (e.g. heliskiing companies, ski areas, guiding companies and land managers).

The InfoEx database allows subscribers to input and view daily weather, snowpack, and avalanche observations giving avalanche professionals access to data that is accurate and relevant. This information improves each subscriber's awareness of the conditions across New Zealand, greatly enhancing their ability to manage their local avalanche risks.

The InfoEx serves as one of the key sources of data used by New Zealand Avalanche Advisory forecasters to produce and verify their avalanche advisories.
