I haven’t used it a time yet but it seems pretty useful. There was a bug where it wouldn’t load the avy report for my main area (mt. hood). I left a review commenting on the bug and the dev responded very quickly and pushed an update to the app with in a couple days fixing it.
Developer Response
Thanks for reporting this bug. I released an update today that fixes the Mt Hood avy forecast. Please email beta@skithebackountry.com if you have any other issues or feedback.
All in one place!

It’s amazing to have all these tools packed neatly into one app. I usually have to use my laptop, several web pages, and a couple other apps to get all the tools and info that this app has. Networking to find partners, slope angle shading to plan routes, and all the weather/snow-nerd data - it’s all here. Finally!!!
Pretty good

My only complaint is that I have to change the state in the settings to see Idaho (I live in Washington). Living on the border between both states, it would be nice seeing all my local snowtel sites on the map view. I bought the pro version thinking this would give me that option, but it doesn’t.
Great backcountry resource

The CAIC website is so clunky on the phone, so it’s great to have this app provide avy forecasts and weather data in a more usable format. I love having easy access to snotel data and weather point forecasts.
Improved backcountry weather graphs.
Bug fixes.
