Avalanche Center Websites

A Next.js-based multi-tenant platform powering avalanche center websites. Built with PayloadCMS v3, React, and TypeScript.

Quick Start

Get up and running in seconds. For more detailed setup options, see Getting Started.

Prerequisites

Beyond Node and pnpm, install the drift doc-freshness tool — pre-commit runs pnpm drift:check, which needs the drift binary on your PATH:

brew install fiberplane/tap/drift   # macOS / Linux

It's a standalone binary, not an npm dependency, so pnpm install won't provide it. See Doc Drift for the full workflow.

About

This project serves multiple avalanche centers from a single codebase using Next.js middleware for dynamic tenant routing. Each center can have its own subdomain or custom domain while sharing the same backend infrastructure.
