Cheap insurance for your avalanche skills. SoGnar Snow keeps every skier and snowboarder sharp all season, first tour or twentieth: avalanche training games, avalanche forecasts for the US, Canada and Europe, a digital field book for every tour, ski and snowboard tracking, and crews.
FREE, FOR EVERYONE
Avalanche danger ratings for the United States, Canada and Europe: every forecast center, every micro-region, plus two full seasons of history you can scrub back through day by day. Mountain weather from NOAA and the nearest SNOTEL station. Three arcade games: AVALANCHE!!! companion rescue, Red Flags and Hippee Trees. Record as many days as you like and keep three of them. Keep a board, a Captain's Log entry and an audio log, three maps in the Atlas, and two crews with Crew Radar and the monthly leaderboard. No subscription required, and no ads.
TRAIN
Avalanche training games taught by Uncle Al, running right on your device. AVALANCHE!!! puts the rescue on the clock: beacon, probe, shovel. Red Flags drills the five red flags. SoGnar Pro adds The Triangle, Map Dancin', The Pits and Pro Practice: terrain, weather and snowpack, route choice, snow pit tests and more. The training games never cost a Coin.
KNOW
Avalanche forecasts from the official avalanche centers: avalanche.org and the National Avalanche Center across the United States, Avalanche Canada, and 37 European warning services across 705 micro-regions. Every avalanche problem sits on its rose, with the likelihood in words and the size on the D scale.
YOUR DIGITAL FIELD BOOK
The Captain's Log is a field book that is always in your pocket: PLAN, RIDE, DEBRIEF and LOG IT, with the day's forecast and mountain weather beside it. Dig a snow pit and build its profile a layer at a time. Check your crew in and out on the manifest, and send what you saw to your local avalanche center's own observation form.
TRACK
Lift-aware tracking for resort, backcountry and nordic days, so your distance counts what you earned and not what the chairlift gave you. Every ride replays in 3D, and GNAR REEL puts your route and stats on a clip from your day. Self-propelled miles pay out in Coins for the arcade.
PLAN
Bring your CalTopo maps: open a GPX, KML or GeoJSON file and SoGnar draws your zones, lines and markers on its own topo and slope layers, offline, with you on it. Mark zones AVOID, and hand a map to your crew or your students with a code, a link or a QR poster.
CREWS & COMPETITION
Build or join a crew, hoard Stoke Points, and compete on the monthly leaderboard against crews your own size.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Your recorded activity (distance, routes, everything) is private by default. Crew logs, Crew Radar live positions and the monthly leaderboards are all opt-in. Nothing leaves your account until you say so.

COMMUNITY
Crews, shared logs and photos are community content. Every social surface has Report and Block, reports are reviewed, and repeat offenders are removed.
Take a course, then keep those skills sharp all season. The forecast is a starting point; you control your own risk. SoGnar is not the authoritative source. Always consult your local avalanche center before you go.
Every legend starts with first chair.
