## What is TerrainScout?

Stay safer in the backcountry with TerrainScout - the essential tool for measuring slope angles and tracking snow stability.

Most avalanches occur on slopes between 30-45 degrees, with the danger zone peaking at 35-40 degrees. TerrainScout uses your phone's camera and motion sensors to accurately measure slope angles in real-time, helping you identify avalanche-prone terrain before you commit.

KEY FEATURES:

Camera Slope Angle Measurement 
Point your camera at a distant slope and get instant angle readings.
Visual indicators warn you when slopes enter the critical avalanche zone.

Level Tool
Measure slope angles directly with a ski pole or on the ground using your device's built-in sensors.

Stability Test Recording
Document snow stability observations and tests with GPS coordinates, photos, and detailed notes.

Past Tests Map
View all your recorded tests on an interactive map to track conditions across your favorite zones.

BUILT FOR BACKCOUNTRY USERS
Whether you're ski touring, splitboarding, or snowshoeing, TerrainScout gives you critical data to complement avalanche forecasts and field observations.

Always check avalanche forecasts and carry proper safety equipment. TerrainScout is a tool to inform decisions, not replace proper avalanche education and equipment.
