Avycast

What is Avycast?

Avycast is an avalanche forecast app and website that aggregates official bulletins from ~30 regional warning services across 21 countries — the Alps, Pyrenees, Scandinavia, Scotland, the Carpathians, the Caucasus, Japan, Canada, the USA, Argentina and New Zealand — into one consistent layout, translated into 11 languages. Each forecast shows EAWS danger levels per elevation band, avalanche problems on a compass rose, the full narrative and a link to the original source. Web forecasts are free and need no account; the iOS app adds geolocation, a Slope Evaluator and Premium region switching + favorites. Avycast is an aggregator, not a warning service — always verify against the official bulletin.
