If you are into backcountry skiing you are probably aware of the Canadian Avalanche Centre and its comprehensive forecasting on avalanche conditions for mountain regions in western Canada, available in daily bulletins. I have been keeping up with the forecasting for the regions I ski in for the past couple of months and have found it quite helpful and informative.

Just recently I have discovered that the CAC has an app for Apple devices of their daily bulletins. The app is developed by the CAC, in partnership with MEC. The app allows for the info to be cached to the device so that you can access it will you are on the slopes and out of  cellphone signal.

This app is definitely a helpful tool to add to your arsenal of snow safety knowledge and gear.
