Dig in before you head out.
Strata reads a backcountry route the way an experienced partner would - the avalanche picture, the slope angles, the aspect, the weather window - and gives you one clear verdict before you leave the trailhead. Then it comes with you, recording your track even when the signal doesn't.
The safety call is never behind a paywall. That part matters too much to charge for, so we don't.
WHAT'S FREE - AND STAYS FREE
• An AI safety verdict on any route: avalanche, slope, aspect, and weather, read together into one grounded call - not nine numbers you have to interpret in the parking lot.
• A 9-tile live conditions ribbon: avalanche danger, weather, wind, AQI, fire, streamflow, sun timing, and more, on the route you're actually looking at.
• Avalanche, weather, AQI, and fire map layers you can turn on over the terrain.
• Millions of trails to search, plus a library of curated routes.
• A multi-day trip planner with pre-flight prep.
• Live GPS tracking that keeps recording with no signal - you don't lose the track because you lost the bars.
• Your crew's positions on the map, and one-tap SOS.
• Tour recaps and trip stories when you're back.
Not a trial. Not "free for a week." The safety mission is free, and it stays that way whether you ever pay us a cent.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
• No ads. You will never see one between yourself and a hazard call.
• No tracking. We don't sell your location, your identifiers, or where you ski. There's nothing to sell, because we're not selling it.
• No fake urgency. The free tier is fully functional forever. Try it as long as you like before you decide anything.
IF YOU WANT MORE
Strata Pro is for people who build their own lines. It adds:
• A snap-to-trail route builder that routes along real trail geometry, not freehand lines across a cliff.
• Gradient and aspect vetting on every segment you draw.
• Downloadable offline map packs for where you're going.
• Unlimited saved routes.
• Trip reports for multi-day tours.
• Priority email support.
Pro is an annual subscription - $59.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. Not for you? Email us within 7 days and we'll refund the whole thing, no questions. Cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; you keep Pro until the year ends, then drop back to the (fully functional) free tier. Nothing you saved is ever deleted.
We're solo-built. There's no sales team and no burn rate to feed — the free tier carries the safety mission, and Pro funds the work.
A NOTE ON JUDGMENT
Strata informs a decision; it doesn't make one for you. Conditions change, data has gaps, and no app replaces avalanche training, current local advisories, and your own eyes on the snow. Read the verdict, then use your head.
Strata Pro is an auto-renewing annual subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your Apple ID Settings.
