MSC Membership Drive 2026
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, so thank you for your support!
When you sign up through the membership drive period, you receive benefits like an on-demand member-pack, 35% off MSC merchandise, discounts to MSC events, exclusive access to MSC maps and discounts from key sponsors.
In 2026, new and existing MSC members go into the draw for monthly prizes from our generous supporters with winners drawn in June, July and August - check below for details. We also have a member-only raffle for tours and courses from our Alpine Guiding Partners that will be drawn at the end of June.
