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.
