Each season, NWAC commissions an artist to interpret the mountains, snow and avalanche education through a new graphic. Together, NWAC and eqpd translate that artwork onto a bag made in Washington.
The bag becomes part fundraiser, part useful piece of gear, and part annual snapshot of NWAC’s community.
NWAC membership helps fund the forecasts, education, and resources the backcountry community relies on. The annual Gear Bucket gives higher-level members something useful in return—a locally made piece of gear that connects their support back to the mountains.
“Our custom bags became one of the most-used branded items we’ve produced. The collaborative design process and durable construction made them a favorite with both employees and customers.”
