There are major crags and climbing areas that you can’t find. You would think something like red river gorge or new river gorge would be easy to get weather data on…. ### 2/5 — Subscription *2023-06-06, version 3.0.0* I bought the Subscription thinking that I was going to get 10 days forecast but my app shows only 5 days ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-05-18* I religiously use OpenSnow and OpenSummit before any adventure (and even when I masochistically decide to check the weather while I’m stuck at my desk). They’re always coming out with new and inventive features, improving their forecasts, and app experience. These are must have apps for any outdoor sport or weather nerd. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We are in the process of retiring OpenSummit and moving all features over to our other app, OpenSnow. Please download OpenSnow for the best experience. -Sam ### 5/5 — I was wrong *2022-10-29, version 3.0.0* Missed the tab ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2022-10-09, version 2.1.0* I live in tahoe and have used the smoke / air quality forecasts every day the last two summers when the fire season heated up. Love all the work the OpenSummit/OpenSnow has made happen! ### 3/5 — Smoke (surface) *2022-09-26, version 2.1.0* Very disappointed in your map that details smoke on the surface. Very low visibility and terrible air quality here in Santa Fe New Mexico. But your map shows nothing amiss. Today the density of smoke is much greater than normal although every day for weeks we’ve had smoke in the air and reduced visibility of our mountains. Just wanted you to know that I tried hello@open summit.com. couldn’t get that to open up no matter how many different ways I tried. Weather channels app also shows perfectly clear air here. Boggling my mind. at least their website provide you with a very easy way to give feedback. ### 5/5 — Saved my summer road trips from ruin *2022-09-14* The mountain weather is now so much more complicated in the West with fires and smoke. This app brings everything together and lets you plan your missions with remarkable insight. For the last 3 summers, my road trips across the US would have been nightmares without this valuable info. What a great bargain, too. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support! Please send an email to hello@opensummit.com if you ever have any questions. -SAM ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do much unless you subscribe *2022-09-13, version 2.1.0* It do doesn’t give you info unless you subscribe. ### 5/5 — Unmatched forecasting *2022-09-09* I live on a large lake in northern Utah that seems to make it difficult to predict weather forecasts. Open Summit is the only source I use now to view upcoming storms and get reliable weather predictions. I really love the smoke (surface) overlay, and air quality forecast in summer months in order to plan for days that my children should play indoors. I love this app and am constantly sharing screenshots of maps to family and friends. Well worth the $20 annual fee. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! -SAM ## Frequently asked questions about OpenSummit ### What does OpenSnow do?

All OpenSummit features will be merged into OpenSnow. The OpenSummit app will continue to function through at least the end of 2023, but no new features or improvements will be added. Moving forward, all of the best features will be available on one app and website, OpenSnow. Why are we sunsetting OpenSummit? There are two reasons that we are stopping work and ultimately shutting down OpenSummit. First, having two apps (OpenSnow and OpenSummit) that offered similar and sometimes identical features became confusing for our subscribers. Second, as a small team, we want to keep our product and our business focused on doing a few things very well, and maintaining two brands and two apps was causing duplicative work. This means that you can get all the same features and views from OpenSummit without needing to open a different app, or, in other words, all the weather data you need for winter AND summer adventures will be in one app, OpenSnow, and not spread across two apps. What should you do now? Download the OpenSnow app and log in with the same email address and password that you currently use for OpenSummit. Your favorite locations from OpenSummit will also still be available to view under the "Summer" list in OpenSnow. Your current All-Access subscription will also continue to work, with no changes needed from your end. Thank you so much for your continued support. We can't wait to show you what’s next on OpenSnow to help you plan your adventure, no matter the season. -The OpenSnow Team ### 3.0.1 — 2023-09-09 OpenSummit Being Retired, Merged Into OpenSnow What's changing?
