Josh Vincent

Josh Vincent is a professional avalanche forecaster for the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC), where he specializes in the Northern San Juan zone. In this role, he monitors snowpack stability and storm cycles to author critical public safety reports for one of the most avalanche-prone regions in the United States. His technical focus centers on identifying reactive slabs and persistent weak layers, providing actionable data for backcountry users navigating complex high-alpine terrain.

 By bridging the gap between theoretical snow science and practical field application, he helps individuals develop the decision-making skills necessary for safe mountain travel.

Through his work as a forecaster, guide, and educator, he serves as a vital resource for public safety and mountain advocacy in the region.
