We’re excited to roll out a new mobile app to serve our CBAC community! Through the design efforts and partnership with the Northwest Avalanche Center, the “Avy” app now hosts CBAC forecasts, observations, and weather data for the Crested Butte area. You can download the “Avy” app for both iPhones and Androids. If you already have the app, you’ll need to update it on Google Play or the App Store to sync it with CBAC. One of the benefits of the app is its offline functionality. If you open the app before you leave town, you can view the forecast from your phone while you are in the backcountry and out of cell service. You can also submit an observation that will upload to our website when you return to cell service. While the app delivers essential information (avalanche forecasts, observations, and weather data), our website remains the comprehensive resource for all of our data visualization tools and maps. The app is still in its infancy, and NWAC will continue to modify and improve functionality in years to come.
