MSC Membership Drive 2026

Mountain Safety Collective (MSC) relies 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. We also drew a member-only raffle for tours and courses at the end of June.

Arc’teryx Rush Jacket - RRP$1300

Rush Jacket is a light, durable shell jacket designed for ski and snowboard touring, built as a light, durable backcountry shell that supports efficient ascents and dependable protection for the descent.

With lighter GORE-TEX PRO ePE fabric that offers the same high-level durability you depend on in the backcountry, the updated Rush Jacket emphasises efficiency for the ascent without sacrificing comfort—or the performance you demand for the descent. A new fit allows easier access to additional zippered pockets and uses less fabric, making it simpler to transition and head back up for another lap.

Winners receive a code to choose their size, colour and gender style online.
