One briefing. Every data source.
Built for backcountry recreation and travel.

Which region do I want to ski?

The first question isn't "what's the danger?" — it's "which of my options looks best today?" The Snow Doctor homepage shows every BC and Canadian Rockies region at a glance, colour-coded by current avalanche danger. Each card shows:

• Today's top avalanche danger rating
• Snow precipitation for the last 48 hours and next 48 hours
• Max freezing level past 48 hours and next 48 hours

Enough context to eliminate obviously bad regions and identify the candidates worth a closer look — before you open a single forecast tab.

The briefing raised a question. Ask it.

After Doctor's Orders, a follow-up chat interface opens. It already has the zone context (avalanche forecast, weather data, field obs), so your questions get answers grounded in the current picture, not generic advice.

Avalanche forecast, interpreted for your terrain.

The Avy tab runs the full Avalanche Canada bulletin through a structured AI analysis pass — not a restatement of danger ratings, but an interpretation specific to your zone. It tells you whether the pack is behaving predictably or on edge, breaks down each avalanche problem by aspects and elevations, layers in the snowpack architecture so you understand the failure planes, and translates the regional forecast to the specific terrain features you'll actually encounter. The distinction between trigger probability and consequence size — low-and-predictable versus house-of-cards — is explicit.

The raw forecast data is on the first slide. The Doctor's Orders synthesis is on the second.

Five models. All elevations. Tables, charts, and reports. Seven days back. Seven days forward.

The 7-day weather history is the standout. The summary table gives you temperature, freeze level, precipitation phase, wind, and solar radiation broken down by AM / PM / Night across three elevation bands — all in one scrollable view. Scroll right and the same layout continues into the 7-day forward forecast. Five NWP models available, from the 2.5 km HRDPS for the next 48 hours to ECMWF for a 10-day outlook.

The six charts are tuned for backcountry decisions: freeze-thaw cycle detection, wet-slide windows overlaid on both the temperature and solar radiation charts, wind loading thresholds marked at 40 and 60 km/h, cumulative snow load, and a fog-risk view built from the temperature–dew point gap. Every chart covers the full 7-day window.

Ground truth, weighted and synthesized.

The Obs tab pulls MIN reports within 50km and synthesizes them into a single field report. Instead of clicking through five individual observations — each with different detail levels, distances, and relevance — you get one clear read: how fresh and representative the data is, what riders are actually finding on the ground, and what terrain they're avoiding.

A good MIN report is gold. But most people don't have time to read ten of them and weigh proximity, recency, and credibility on the fly. Snow Doctor does that pass for you.

Your terrain, scored against every forecast.

Save the spots you actually ski. Each zone includes your elevation band, primary aspects, and ATES terrain rating. Snow Doctor scores each saved zone against the current conditions and maps it in a risk heatmap.

The heatmap uses an ATES × Danger grid: your terrain complexity on one axis, current danger at that elevation band on the other. At a glance you can see which of your zones are well within your margins and which ones need a closer look before committing.
