Elevation data is wrong

Race car spelled backwards on

United States

I really like the layout of this app, but the weather points I am creating on the map are not displaying the correct altitude. They are generally a couple thousand feet lower than what I know the elevations to be. This is pretty concerning considering how big an impact this has on the weather forecast. Please fix!

Everything in 1 place!

I haven’t used it a time yet but it seems pretty useful. There was a bug where it wouldn’t load the avy report for my main area (mt. hood). I left a review commenting on the bug and the dev responded very quickly and pushed an update to the app with in a couple days fixing it.

Pretty good

My only complaint is that I have to change the state in the settings to see Idaho (I live in Washington). Living on the border between both states, it would be nice seeing all my local snowtel sites on the map view. I bought the pro version thinking this would give me that option, but it doesn’t.

Can’t change my password

When I try to reset my password so I can login and change my account settings, the app never sends me an email with a link.

Doesn't seem to work anymore.

Plan your rides with better data on current conditions and great tool for reporting observations and collecting data. The tracking function records your activity accurately so u can review the days journey.

Essential planning tool

United States

Having NOAA point forecasts, avalanche outlook, and SNOTEL data all in one app is just the best. This is THE essential winter recreation app IMHO.

Best backcountry ski app I’ve found
