## What is Avalanche Inclinometer?

Avy savvy backcountry skiers and riders know that three things count when it comes to the terrain’s influence on avalanches: the slope, the elevation, and the (compass) aspect. And the Avalanche Inclinometer delivers all three. Sure, you can find plenty of inclinometer apps (also known as clinometers) that are designed for carpenters, but Steve's Avalanche Inclinometer is meant for people who spend time in avalanche terrain. 

This app shows the slope, elevation, and aspect in BIG FONTS which are perfect for tired eyes in stormy (or bright-and-too-sunny) weather. And it doesn’t display a gaggle of tiny buttons and widgets to decipher when you should be skiing.

You can sight across a slope by holding your phone parallel to the slope, or you can sight up or down a slope by sighting along the long-edge of your phone like a gunsight. (Through-the-camera sighting is nifty when the light is just right, but it often isn't.)

When you have your phone aligned with the slope, a single tap on the screen will lock the data so you can read it. The Avalanche Inclinometer will even speak to you as you’re measuring the steepness so you won’t need to look at the screen. And the BIG inclinometer dial changes colors based on the slope which provides instant feedback on how the steepness of the terrain is contributing to the likelihood of an avalanche.

After measuring the slope, you can tap a single button to share your current GPS location, the slope in degrees, and the elevation. The email includes kml and gpx waypoint files, and a link that will let you quickly see the location in any browser. You can enter the email address one time and the Avalanche Inclinometer will remember it for next time. Less typing; more skiing.

The Avalanche Inclinometer isn’t free, but apps don’t grow on trees. To buy this app you’ll spend less than buying a beer at a ski resort—think of it as buying Steve a beer!

In addition to the Avalanche Inclinometer, it is important that you take an avy class, pay attention to the avalanche red flags, use good route finding techniques, and practice your avalanche rescue skills frequently

### 5/5 — Sick!

*2025-12-28*

So sick 🤙🏻❄️🏔️

### 5/5 — Avalanche Inclinomer

*2025-08-25*

Simple, easy and it works. Awareness of slope angles is crucial to safe travel in avalanche terrain.

### 5/5 — Worth the money

*2024-08-18, version 1.0.1*

Functional, practical, reliable. I’ve been using this app for several years in the backcountry; the only minor issue is the voice-reader function doesn’t always work. A good-quality tool overall.

### 5/5 — Thank you Steve!

*2024-02-26*

Easy to use and understand. Happy to support Steve for the price of $3.99. Cheers!

### 2/5 — How does it work?

*2022-12-27*

It’s a nifty tool, but it would be helpful if there was a video showing how to use it when sighting directly up or down a hill. Couldn’t find any info online.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-01-05*

Intuitive to use. I really like the audio feedback. Thanks Steve! Cheers!

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2020-05-12, version 1.0.1*

Great app that works like it should. Helpful for developing an avalanche safety plan in winter and summer.

### 1/5 — Camera

*2019-06-09*

The app talks about using the camera to get the angle of the mountain. But there is no option in the app

### 3/5 — Coordinates totally inaccurate

*2019-02-27*

Both UTMs and lat/longs are completely wrong 
Please develop a fix

### 3/5 — UTM

*2019-01-12*

When selecting UTM coordinates it gives the wrong location. Eg am located in zone 10U and app puts me in Europe in zone 31T. Yet Lat -Long appears to be correct.
