Avalanche Safety App crowd sources a potential rescue operation making it a valuable companion in case of an avalanche or another missing person scenario.
The app adds an extra layer of safety for backcountry days by helping you stay discoverable, share location when it matters, and break through silence with life-safety alerts.
Turn on Active Mode when you head out to:
- Share your location to help teammates coordinate and respond faster
- Use nearby discovery to help find people when visibility is low and time matters
- Receive critical alerts—even through Silent or Focus (with Critical Alerts enabled)
Key features
- Active Mode: broadcast your “I’m out here” status and keep your position updated for your team
- Start Search: quickly begin searching and switch into “find nearby user” workflows
- Emergency alerts: get urgent notifications designed for high-stakes situations
- Bluetooth + Location assisted discovery: built for scenarios where proximity matters
- Simple onboarding: Sign in with Apple and set a nickname/alias in seconds
Permissions (why we ask):
Avalanche relies on:
- Location for map accuracy, team coordination, and Active Mode functionality
- Bluetooth for nearby discovery features
- Notifications / Critical Alerts (optional but recommended) for urgent, time-sensitive alerts
