SnowSafe - Avalanche Forecasts

COMPLETE AVALANCHE INFORMATION IN YOUR POCKET

We are passionate backcountry skiers and freeriders! In fact, we were so dedicated that we built our own app because we couldn't reliably access vital avalanche safety information when we needed it most out in the backcountry.

We built SnowSafe for ourselves, and we are stoked to share it with you – especially on a powder day!

KEY FEATURES FOR YOUR BACKCOUNTRY TOURS

• Official Avalanche Bulletins: Clear, structured reports featuring danger levels, AM/PM progression, avalanche problems, core zones (elevation & aspect), snowpack stability, and danger patterns.

• Interactive Maps & Slope Angles: View regional warning levels on an interactive terrain map and toggle the slope angle layer to plan safer routes.

• Live Weather Stations: Access current measurements and historical charts (last 7 days & full winter season) for snow depth, new snow, wind speed, gusts, and temperature directly from mountain weather stations.

• Clinometer & Compass: Measure slope steepness right on the mountain – complete with a live camera overlay and GPS altitude display.

• Smartwatch Support: Relay the active region’s avalanche bulletin directly to your Huawei sport watch for quick checks on your wrist.

TRUE OFFLINE CAPABILITY

The only things you should worry about in the backcountry are weather and snowpack conditions – not cell reception. SnowSafe automatically synchronizes and caches avalanche bulletins for your favorite and recently viewed regions in the background, ensuring the latest report is ready offline when you head out.

CUSTOM ALERTS

Mountain conditions can change rapidly, even within a single day. Favorite your home regions to receive instant push notifications whenever a new bulletin is published or when your custom danger level threshold (Level 1–5) is reached.

SMART & SIMPLE DESIGN

Simplicity, reliability, and efficiency are critical in alpine terrain. We designed SnowSafe to be as straightforward, fast, and dependable to use as your avalanche transceiver.
