About this app

Your backcountry planning toolkit.

AviAlert helps you plan backcountry trips, check conditions, observe, assess, and navigate terrain — with key field tools close at hand.

Use AviAlert before you go to build a Winter or Summer Backcountry Trip Plan. Draw routes on the map and add notes, timing, turnaround points, hazards, emergency contacts, checklists, and a Plan B. In the field, use your saved plan, Tour Snapshot, forecasts, maps, and tools to stay organized and reassess as conditions change.

Free tools include:
• Outdoor map for trip planning and navigation
• Build and share a Winter or Summer trip plan
• One saved trip plan
• Avalanche forecast directory
• Rescue guides
• Current weather and basic point forecasts
• Trailhead Checklist
• Tour Snapshot for your saved plan

AviAlert Pro unlocks the full toolkit:
• Premium maps: Winter, Satellite, 3D Terrain, and 3D Hybrid
• Offline map downloads
• Multiple saved trip plans
• 10-day weather, recent weather, and model comparison
• Saved forecast library for offline review
• Import your own forecast PDFs and manual forecast entries
• Routes, waypoints, Route Details, and AviPace timing
• Tracks with GPX import/export
• Compass, barometer/altimeter, Measure & Draw
• Observation tools including AviRecon and Slope View
• AI User Guide for in-app help

AviAlert is built for backcountry skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, hiking, scrambling, climbing, backpacking, hut trips, and other backcountry travel where preparation matters.

Plan the trip. Check the forecast. Know your timing. Share the plan. Reassess as you move through the terrain.

AviAlert does not replace avalanche education, official forecasts, professional judgment, or field decision-making. Always check current conditions, carry the right equipment, and travel within your training and experience.
