Avalanche bulletins
Find your avalanche bulletin, wherever you ski.
Before any tour, read the official avalanche bulletin for where you are going. Here are the public services we could verify, worldwide.
Modelled, not an avalanche forecast. Snowvy explains the snowpack; it never says a slope is safe. Read your regional avalanche bulletin and make your own decisions.
What a bulletin gives you
Avalanche bulletins are written by trained forecasters who combine weather models, field observations, reported avalanches and snow profiles. In Europe and North America they rate the danger on a five-level scale, from 1 (low) to 5 (very high), and describe the main avalanche problems, the aspects and elevations most affected, and how the danger changes through the day.
Where Snowvy fits
Snowvy is not an avalanche bulletin and does not replace one. It models the snowpack slope by slope and explains how the layers formed. Use it to understand the why behind the bulletin, never to overrule it. How it works

Where we know of no public bulletin
The Andes (Chile, Argentina), the Caucasus, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, the Himalaya, Korea, China and Morocco: we could not verify a public avalanche forecast service. Ask local mountain guides, rescue services or park authorities, and plan as if there is no forecast.
