## What is Avycast?

Avalanche Bulletin brings together official avalanche forecasts from 21 countries across four continents, presented in a single, consistent interface and translated into 11 languages.

Built for backcountry skiers, splitboarders, alpinists, ski tourers, and mountain guides who plan trips across borders — from the Alps to the Southern Alps, from Hokkaido to the Rockies.

KEY FEATURES

  • Daily bulletins from official warning services — EAWS member services, SAIS (Scotland), Avalanche Canada, US avalanche centers, JAN (Japan Avalanche Network), Niseko Avalanche Institute, NZAA (New
Zealand), Avalanchas.com.ar (Argentina), and Gudauri (Georgia)
  • 11 languages — English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Czech, Romanian, Russian, Georgian
  • Danger rating by elevation band — Alpine, Treeline, Below Treeline
  • Active avalanche problems with size, frequency, and stability details
  • Slope Risk Evaluator — combines the current danger rating with terrain exposure class (ATES) to suggest whether a planned tour is "Normal Caution", "Extra Caution", or "Not Recommended", based on
published avalanche research (NAPADS, CMAH)
  • Favorites — save the regions you travel in for one-tap access
  • Original bulletin viewer — read the source bulletin in its native format at any time
  • Location-based — automatically finds the nearest region with an active bulletin
  • Faithful to the source — we never rewrite or "improve" danger ratings; we show what the issuing avalanche service publishes

DATA SOURCES

All bulletins are fetched directly from the issuing avalanche warning service. Translations are generated automatically for your convenience — for critical decisions, always consult the original source
bulletin (accessible via the "View original" button on every screen).

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

This app provides decision support based on published avalanche research. It is NOT a substitute for professional judgment, formal avalanche education, or local expertise. Always:
  — Read the original bulletin
  — Travel with trained partners
  — Carry a transceiver, shovel, and probe
  — Know how to use them

Avalanche terrain is inherently hazardous. No app, bulletin, or tool can make it safe — only you can make informed decisions.
