Floc vs Belayers

Floc is Atesmaps’ collaborative app for recording and browsing snow and avalanche observations in the Pyrenees. If you go ski touring, snowshoeing, mountaineering or work in avalanche terrain, what you see in the mountains is valuable information for everyone. With Floc you can note it down in a few minutes, right where you make the observation. WHAT YOU CAN RECORD • Quick observation: general snow conditions, weather, new snow load or recent avalanches. • Weather: precipitation, temperature, wind and snow transport. • Avalanches: activity, type, size, trigger and fracture dimensions. • Snowpack: surface snow, propagation cracks and stability tests (hand shear, CT and ECT). • Accidents: accident data and, if you wish, a confidential contact to expand on it. Each observation is geolocated and can include photos. You can save it as a draft and send it later. CHECK BEFORE YOU GO • Map of observations with filters by date and area. • Detailed page for each observation, with images. • History of your observations. • Notifications of new observations. A TOOL AT THE SERVICE OF KNOWLEDGE The Atesmaps team reviews observations before publishing them. Accident data is also shared with the ACNA, the ICGC (Catalonia), AR+I (Andorra) and the Centre de Lauegi d’Aran. Over time, all of them together form an archive for the study of avalanches in the Pyrenees. Floc complements atesmaps.org, the viewer for planning trips with ATES avalanche terrain mapping, and your account is synced between the two. IMPORTANT Observations are community contributions and do not replace the official avalanche bulletin or your own assessment of the terrain. Available in Catalan, Spanish, Basque, French and English. Floc is a project of the Associació Atesmaps, a non-profit organisation.
