Name: EM Snow: Ski & Snowboard Tracker
Author: Lee_

Ski and snowboard app: snow report, lifts, sun, avalanche risk and a safe way down for your resort. Alpha test version.

ALPHA TEST VERSION. EM Snow for Garmin is in early testing and has not yet been used through a full winter. Some screens will show zeros or "Off-season" until resorts open. Please send feedback and bug reports, they shape what comes next.

EM Snow puts the mountain on your wrist: today's snow, which lifts are running, where the sun is, the avalanche picture and the quickest safe way back down.

TODAY AT YOUR RESORT
- Snow depth at the base and summit, new snow in the last 24 and 72 hours
- Snow IQ: one 0 to 10 score for how good the skiing is today
- Freezing level and conditions
- Press START for a plain-English explanation of every number

SKI NEXT
- The three best runs for right now, with the best time to ski each one and why (for example "the W face softens to corn about now")

SUN ON THE SLOPES
- A compass showing which slope directions are in proper sun right now, and when the next one goes into shade or comes into sun

AVALANCHE SAFETY
- Today's danger level, the main avalanche problem, the slope directions and heights at risk, and a warning when you are in the danger band (Europe, US and Canada, where a bulletin is published)

LIFTS
- Live lift status where the resort publishes it
- Next lift: after each run while recording, the three nearest lifts with open or closed and queue times where available

GET ME DOWN
- Turn-by-turn guidance back down from wherever you are
- Warns you if the only way down uses a lift reported closed, or when lift status is unknown
- Guide-to-friend mode to find your group

RECORD YOUR DAY
- Records your ski or snowboard day to Garmin Connect as normal, plus EM Snow's own stats: runs, vertical, ski, lift and idle time, lift queue time and number of lifts
- Optional: sync your day to the EM Snow phone app (off by default, you choose to link your phone) to see runs, lifts and queues on a map and replay the day (iPhone beta link below)
- Or scan the QR code at the end of the day to open it on your phone

GET THE PHONE APP (iPhone beta)
- EM Snow for iPhone is in public beta on TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/uhzV7bKz

Data: resort reports and forecasts from EM Snow (snow.0-21.co.uk); avalanche bulletins from the regional services (EAWS members in Europe, Avalanche Canada, US avalanche centers); maps from OpenStreetMap contributors. Always check the official avalanche bulletin and resort information before heading off piste. EM Snow is a guide, not a safety device.
