MSC Membership Drive 2024

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 an on-demand member-pack, 35% off MSC merchandise, exclusive access to MSC maps and guides and occasional discounts from key sponsors.

New and existing MSC members go into the draw for weekly prizes from our generous supporters with winners drawn throughout the membership drive from May 13 - June 10.

In addition, for the first, time this year you can buy raffle tickets for premium prizes to boost your chance of winning the prize you really want!

Please check the entry conditions below. Not sure if your membership is still active? You can sign in here to check or send us a message.
