AvalauncherAlert

Controlled avalanche alerts

$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Get a push the instant a state highway agency schedules a controlled-avalanche road closure — across Utah, Colorado, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and Nevada. Know before the road closes. When highway crews deliberately trigger avalanches to clear a mountain pass — setting off slides with explosive charges — the road shuts down while they work. Controlled Avalanche Alerts tells you the moment one of those closures is scheduled, so a canyon commute, ski day, or mountain drive never catches you off guard. It watches the official 511 and Department of Transportation feeds for six western states and sends a push notification the instant a controlled-avalanche road closure appears. STATES MONITORED • Utah (UDOT) • Colorado (COtrip) • Washington (WSDOT) • Idaho (511) • Alaska (511) • Nevada (511) FEATURES • Real-time push alerts the moment a controlled-avalanche closure is scheduled • See every active closure at a glance — with status and estimated reopening • Tap any closure for details and a map of the location • Choose your coverage: all states, just the ones you pick, or only within a radius of you • Clean, native, and lightweight — no account required HOW IT WORKS The app continuously checks each state's official highway feed. When a road is closed, or scheduled to close, for avalanche-control work, you're notified right away and can see exactly where and when. IMPORTANT Controlled Avalanche Alerts is an unofficial convenience tool. Alerts may be delayed, incomplete, or missed, and push delivery is not guaranteed. Coverage is limited to participating state highway programs — it does not include ski resorts, backcountry terrain, or every road. Never rely on this app for safety-critical decisions. Always obey official signage, road closures, and instructions from authorities. Closure data is provided by and © the respective state Departments of Transportation. Controlled Avalanche Alerts is not affiliated with or endorsed by any agency. Note: Controlled-avalanche work happens in winter. Outside the season the closures list may be empty — that's expected.
