## What is Powder Project?

Powder Project is your comprehensive guide to the best ski lines, wherever you are.

With the thoroughness of a printed map, we offer full GPS route info, elevation profiles, interactive features, photos, and more. Like a guidebook, we suggest the best featured ski lines to explore—either near your current location or in an area you search for. Local experts show you the highlights, challenging features, and insights you need to plan a great day in the snow. 

• Find over 800 miles of backcountry, sidecountry, and secret stashes.
• New lines are constantly added to our incredibly detailed ski ascent and descent trail database.
• Your exact location is shown on the trail.
• Downloaded trails work offline for when you’re off the grid. (No cell reception required!)
• Enjoy high-resolution photos and detailed topographical trail maps.
• We’ll sync with your to-do list and check-ins on PowderProject.com.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 1/5 — Stop trying to make onX happen in order to use this

*2025-01-13*

I absolutely hate using this app now that the owner forces you to make an onX account to use the services on a desktop. I’ve gone back to actual book guides because they, at least, don’t force me jump extra hurdles at a whim to access data that’s user-created and maintained. I’m not sure why users are being forced into onX, but stop trying to make it happen without their consent.

### 1/5 — OnX has RUINED these apps

*2024-09-02*

Ever since OnX backcountry acquired the “project” apps (hiking project, trail run project, MTBproject, powder and mountain projects) these are useless. They crash within seconds whether using data/wifi or using the downloaded map. 

I can’t help but think it’s their way of acquiring user-based data to plug into their subscription- based platform for a profit.

### 3/5 — Give steepness in degrees

*2022-03-13*

It would make sense to give the steepness in degrees, rather than % grade. Most avalanche teaching and forecasts talk about degrees.

### 3/5 — Please add Arizona

*2020-11-16*

There is some good skiing in Northern AZ and we even have our own avalanche center. Unfortunately nothing in the app about AZ, either in the Flagstaff or White Mountain areas.

### 5/5 — So so helpful

*2020-10-16*

I’ll be in Colorado for the winter and the reviews and maps are so helpful to get to know the areas and how to travel safely.

### 5/5 — Couldn’t ask for a more useful app

*2020-02-19*

I use all of the REI apps to plan outings and gather beta, no better place to start adventure planning!

### 3/5 — Fixed dark mode but broke light mode

*2020-01-06*

The search field font color needs to be fixed in light mode. The current contrast is nearly impossible to read. The results show up but if you have a typo you can’t see it. Would be a better app if the recording showed your full track statistics like Strava. Currently recording in this app is only useful if you want to add a new track not already in the map.

### 4/5 — Trail......

*2019-10-20*

Unfortunately not everyone lives near snow!  I thought this was a “trail” guide.  Yes!  I see the snow flake but I “assumed” it would be trails....gotta have a logo, I get it...snow, for “these trails”.  
Of course....if you wanna ever do a “research project”, how Southern Ladies handle learning how to snow ski, yet have never even seen snow, give me a chance!  It’ll be fun!
Trying to earn enough $ to go on one of ur REI trips.....they sOuNd like FuN!
Thanks for reading!

### 3/5 — Missing cross country ski trails

*2018-11-12*

This is an interesting app in the pantheon of REI project apps. What’s missing is a connection for the cross country skier who enjoys back country off trail routes. There’s an opportunity here to provide a combination app that serves both the back country skier who skis with skins And seeks seeks big mountain downhill opportunities and the cross country skier who may be toying with the idea of crossing over from the typical cross country ski /Snowshoeing domain to view the terrain that is accessed by the back country skier. In fact when I skied the Libby Creek Trail recently, which had originally been billed for cross country skiing, I had to use the mountain bike project app to locate the hinterland portions of the trail where no one had skied yet and The trail would become lost due to snow overs and a few downed trees.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2018-03-30*

Would love if the presented slope in degrees rather than percent
