## What is SoGnar Snow?

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.

SOGNAR PRO: $1.99/month or $19.99/year
Keep every day you ride instead of your first three. Every map you want in the Atlas, route planning with terrain layers and no-go zones, trail discovery and saved mountains. Unlimited Captain's Log entries and audio logs. A third crew and beyond, and Guide Mode for guides and ski operations. Your full quiver and your complete rider record. The whole arcade. Free trial on both plans, and an intro price on your first year. Cancel anytime in Settings. Every subscription helps fund student education and snow-based non-profits.

Privacy Policy: https://www.getsognar.com/privacy-policy

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.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2026-11-05

Your digital field book grows a forecast rail and a weather card, and the avalanche map gets out of your way.

CAPTAIN'S LOG
• The forecast rail carries the whole avalanche product, every card titled.
• The weather card switches between NOAA and SNOTEL on both faces, with a map to the station.
• Audio logs: the wrist mic waits for its switch, and a text box's mic waits for your tap.
• A log deleted while you were signed out reaches your account, and a log over the free limit is parked, never dropped.

AVALANCHE MAP
• Put the credit ribbon and the risk disclaimer away once you have read them.
• A zone's sheet shows the forecast in effect right now.
• A Large (D2) avalanche now reads "can injure, bury, or kill a person."

ARCADE
• Riders carry poles and move like real skiers in AVALANCHE!!!, The Pits, Red Flags, Hippee Trees and Map Dancin'.
• Al's Origin and Powder Panic menus fit the screen at every text size.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-30

GNAR REEL: put your ride on your clip and share it.

GNAR REEL
• Drop a clip or a photo from your day onto a saved ride. Your route, vert, ski time, top speed, runs and Coins go on it with the SoGnar Snow mark, ready for Instagram, TikTok or Messages.
• Shot the clip during the ride? The alien rides your real GPS trace and your speed ticks live. Shot it on a friend's phone? The whole route sweeps across it.
• Cut it down. Trim the ends, cut the middle, speed up the skin track, slow down the drop.
• Every stat is a switch. Hide the place name if where you rode is nobody's business.
• Free for every rider. Add a clip from the ride, from the Gnar Hub right after you save, or let the app find the clips you shot during the ride.

ALSO NEW
• SNOW PIT: dig a pit in the Captain's Log and build the profile a layer at a time on the drums. The sheet draws itself as you dial and rides with your log and your observation report.
• CANADA: Avalanche Canada's forecasts are on the map, and a Canadian forecast shows four days of mountain weather and the nearest Avalanche Canada station.
• MOVE FROM CALTOPO: open a GPX, KML or GeoJSON file from Files, Mail, Messages or AirDrop straight into your Atlas, or import a whole folder and pick what comes in.
• ROUTE PLAN: a batch of planner fixes, and your routes and zones sync between devices without losing work.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-17

The Captain's Log grows up, you can report what you saw, and no screen can trap you.

CAPTAIN'S LOG
• Chapters fold. The log opens on PLAN, RIDE, DEBRIEF and LOG IT, with counters on every card and a READY stamp when you are set to go.
• On the Mac and wide iPads the log opens as a desk, with the forecast and your log side by side.
• Crew Manifest: pick riders from your roster, add anyone by name, and tap In or Out to check a rider in. No more QR codes.

AVALANCHE
• Report what you saw. SoGnar Snow drafts it for you and opens your local avalanche center's own observation form.
• Observations show as pins on the avalanche map, always on.
• A zone pin's sheet carries the door to your log.

DEMO CREW
• Every install gets a private demo crew to explore: a Captain's Logs shelf and a Crew's Map along a real Wild Basin route.

NO DEAD ENDS
• Every screen has a way out, the paywall included. On the Mac, sheets clear the top strip.

ARCADE
• The Pits 1.25.0: THE CALL frames both pits so you can see the second one, every hole is dug on a level pad, the blocks are the instrument, find the layers then pick the problem layer, and the pit card fills in from your logs.
• AVALANCHE!!! and MAP DANCIN' 1.12.0: the crown is a cut and the slide breaks apart as it runs.
• Red Flags, Hippee Trees and Pro Practice: skis and bindings wear the board ink, plus fixes.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-12

THE ATLAS. Bring your CalTopo maps into SoGnar Snow.

THE ATLAS
• Import a CalTopo export (GeoJSON, KML or GPX) and it becomes a SoGnar map in the Route Planner: your zones, lines and markers drawn on our topo and slope layers, offline, with you (the alien) on it.
• Build and edit maps in the planner, mark zones AVOID, and keep three maps free.
• Share a map with a code, a link or a QR poster. Students save a read-only copy that never counts against their three.

CREWS
• Two crews ride free. Build or join two crews on the free tier; Crew Radar, the Gnar Hub and the boards open for everyone in them.

ARCADE
• Every game: cartoon hands on every rider and Uncle Al, and a whole-cast ink line.
• The Pits: Uncle Al makes room for your hand, his card sits 10 cm off your glove, soft dig, crunch and saw sounds, a drag sorts a layer, and one Al on camera in the walk-up film.
• Red Flags: riders wave one hand, the alarm is one hand up.
• TRY ME on AVALANCHE!!! for free riders.
• A game under repair says UNDER CONSTRUCTION on the shelf instead of failing to open.
• The tenth slot, IT AIN'T ALL ROSES, is wired and waiting.

ON THE START
• GET OUT. GET GNARLY. now meows. Three cats, never the same one twice.

ON THE MAC
• Arrow keys reach the games. A gloved-finger pointer that shocks on the click.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-07

Every arcade game, up to date from the first tap.

ARCADE
• Game updates now download as soon as the app opens, and a game that is still updating waits for its newest version before it starts. UPDATE badges on the shelf show what is on its way.
• Every game has a trailer in its info card.
• The Pits, rebuilt: a home mountain at first light, a probe grid you drag, and Uncle Al at the dig with you.
• Red Flags: hazard names are pins planted right on the hazard, and they fade into the ALPTRUTh letters as the run goes on.
• Map Dancin': pinch to zoom, two fingers to pan.
• A pause button in every game, with text size and game settings you set once in the app.

MAPS AND FORECASTS
• ROUTE PLAN opens on a start card: a new route or a recent one.
• Utah forecasts in full in the zone report, and a Captain's Log pulls the forecast issued for its day.
• A REFRESH control on the avalanche map. A dropped pin arrives in a hand and can be removed.
• The resort card floats on the map instead of covering it.

ON THE MAC
• Back and forward, a top strip with settings and alerts, a gloved-finger pointer, trackpad pinch in games and arrow keys on the arcade shelf.
