“I am very proud of the work that the NDF is doing. Natalia and Alex have done something few people accomplish. They have taken an almost unspeakable tragedy in their lives and turned their unbearable sadness into a mission to education people – and especially youth – about avalanche safety. Though it hasn’t always been easy, they have been extremely successful, educating thousands of kids about avalanches and creating a community of avalanche aware youth in the Sierra Mountains and beyond. I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the phenomenal work they are doing. Hooray for Natalia and Alex and hooray for the NDF!”
Karl Birkeland,

NDF Special Adviser
“Founded by Natalia and Alex Dodov, and named after their son who died in an avalanche in Alaska, the Nickolay Dodov Foundation is a leading provider of avalanche awareness training to youth in the Sierra. They are the leader in the growing effort to provide this critical information to youth. They do a great job reaching school groups and ski teams and providing important avalanche information to help keep kids safe in the winter mountain environment. Their presentations are well designed and delivered by experienced snow and avalanche professionals.”
