Key functionalities:

  • Streamlined Trip Planning: With a simple tap, you can access the avalanche forecast, weather forecast, weather stations, and zone-specific observations. To minimize scrolling, forecast components are collapsible, and navigating between zones is easy.

  • Offline Caching: The mountains don’t always provide a strong signal, so Avy has integrated offline caching. Even when you're off the grid, you have access to forecasts, weather data and observations you previously viewed.

  • Observation Submission: Our forecasters rely on your feedback, and contributing to your community by submitting observations has never been easier. Offline caching allows you to submit your observation without connectivity and it’ll automatically upload when you get back to service.

  • Weather Data Optimization: Checking weather station data is crucial for understanding what you’ll find when you get to the mountains. With Avy, it’s easy to select your weather station and tease out the information you’re looking for.

The app provides a great mobile experience for checking the avy forecast. The tables and problems are much easier to read in the app then online. The caching of the forecast of is a great bonus feature for checking there conditions when you are out of service.

The layout fits well with the workflow for planning a backcountry outing. The av forecast -> weather forecast -> weather data and telemetry -> zone observations. The collapsible menus on the forecast page allow for easier navigation and top/bottom banners enable easy switching between content areas. The recently added page share feature will work great for collaborative tour planning. Thanks y’all!! 🙌🏻

Such a helpful app to have handy. Makes staying on top of conditions a breeze and keeps it top of mind during the backcountry season.
