Elevation data is wrong
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!
Great app combining almost everything I need in one place. This significantly makes route planning easy
Great
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.
Response from developer
Thanks for reporting this bug. I released an update today that fixes the Mt Hood avy forecast. Please email beta@skithebackountry.com if you have any other issues or feedback.
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.
Response from developer
Please email me at beta@skithebackcountry.com so I can help troubleshoot this issue. I apologize for the difficulty resetting your password.
Doesn't seem to work anymore.
No current forecasts.
Response from developer
Long press on the map to add a weather forecast. Please email beta@skithebackcountry.com and I can help troubleshoot if this is not working.
Great tool
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
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
Point forecasts and snotel and avy reports!
The snotel data is gold!
I use this app every morning before heading out on a tour. Awesome to have all this backcountry weather data in one app.
