User Reviews for Backcountry Beta

The snotel data is gold!

I use this app every morning before heading out on a tour. Awesome to have all this backcountry weather data in one app.

Great to have SNOTEL capability again in an App

I’m a backpacker and really appreciate seeing the temperatures and snow cover.

Great

I haven’t used it a time yet but it seems pretty useful. There was a bug where it wouldn’t load the avy report for my main area (mt. hood). I left a review commenting on the bug and the dev responded very quickly and pushed an update to the app with in a couple days fixing it.

Pretty good

My only complaint is that I have to change the state in the settings to see Idaho (I live in Washington). Living on the border between both states, it would be nice seeing all my local snowtel sites on the map view. I bought the pro version thinking this would give me that option, but it doesn’t.

App Freezes

Upgraded to pro subscription. Maps won’t download. App freezes when trying to start a route.

Everything in 1 place!

Great app combining almost everything I need in one place. This significantly makes route planning easy

Great tool

Plan your rides with better data on current conditions and great tool for reporting observations and collecting data. The tracking function records your activity accurately so u can review the days journey.

Great backcountry resource

The CAIC website is so clunky on the phone, so it’s great to have this app provide avy forecasts and weather data in a more usable format. I love having easy access to snotel data and weather point forecasts.

All in one place!

It’s amazing to have all these tools packed neatly into one app. I usually have to use my laptop, several web pages, and a couple other apps to get all the tools and info that this app has. Networking to find partners, slope angle shading to plan routes, and all the weather/snow-nerd data - it’s all here. Finally!!!

Essential planning tool

Having NOAA point forecasts, avalanche outlook, and SNOTEL data all in one app is just the best. This is THE essential winter recreation app IMHO.
