Industry Standard for
an Extraordinary Industry
The CAA's Industry Information Exchange
(InfoEx®) is a daily exchange of technical snow, weather, avalanche and
terrain information between subscribers.
Since 1991, InfoEx has provided an essential service to operations
and agencies dealing with avalanche risk management—over 30 years of
continuous development helping you deliver the best product possible.
- With nearly 15,000 data points of daily snow, weather and avalanche
observations, Canadian InfoEx subscribers have access to a world-leading data
service.
- Real-time online exchange of
essential data makes it easier to access the information you need for
your operational safety.
- An InfoEx subscription demonstrates your
commitment to guests, clients, stakeholders and regulators to operate at
the highest standard of safety.
- Graduated subscription rates to meet your needs.
Subscribers to InfoEx in Canada are organizations and commercial businesses that employ CAA Avalanche Professionals and actively manage avalanche hazards during
the winter months (e.g. heliskiing companies, BC Highways, ski areas,
mountain parks). InfoEx is a uniquely Canadian service giving avalanche
professionals access to data that is accurate, relevant and real time.
This knowledge improves each subscriber’s awareness of the conditions
across the Canadian mountain ranges, greatly enhancing their ability to manage their
local avalanche risks.
InfoEx also serves as one of the key sources of data used by the Avalanche Canada’s public avalanche forecasters to produce and
verify their products. The value of the InfoEx contribution to public
avalanche safety is estimated at an excess of $2 million annually. The
significance of this contribution by avalanche professionals and their
employers can not be overstated.
