Signing up for a personal InfoEx account

Connectivity	Online only

This document describes how to sign up for a personal InfoEx account of the website of the Canadian Avalanche Association.

Background

Everybody who would like to access the InfoEx and contribute to the exchange is required to have a personal InfoEx account with the Canadian Avalanche Association. Avalanche safety operations subscribing to the InfoEx can then give individuals access to their InfoEx subscription by linking the individuals' accounts to their operation. See How to add a user to your operation for more information in this topic.

The practice of individual user accounts is different from the approach taken during previous years where subscribers were encouraged to only maintain a limited number of user accounts. The reason for changing this practice is that individuals accounts offer new possibilities for ensuring the safety of the data submitted to the InfoEx.

Step-by-step description

1.	Visit http://user.avalanche.ca/#/register
2.	Complete all of the fields on the form. Your email address will be your username for signing into the InfoEx system. NOTE The system also uses this email address for the delivery of the email InfoEx reports. Therefore make sure that you choose an email address that you use regularly.
3.	Click on Register to complete the sign up process. You now have an account on the InfoEx system. Before you can access the InfoEx, your employer needs to link your account to his operation and give you the necessary access privileges.
