Avalanche Inclinometer 1.0.1

Avid backcountry skiers and riders understand the critical factors influencing avalanche risk: slope, elevation, and aspect. The Avalanche Inclinometer app caters to this need by providing precise measurements for all three. While various clinometer apps exist, Steve's Avalanche Inclinometer is tailored for individuals navigating avalanche terrain.

This application features prominently displayed slope, elevation, and aspect data in large fonts, ensuring optimal visibility in challenging weather conditions. Its user-friendly interface eliminates the complexity of navigating through numerous buttons and widgets when in the field.

Users can measure the slope by aligning their phone parallel to it or sighting up or down by using the phone's edge as a guide. The app offers through-the-camera sighting for enhanced accuracy, albeit reliant on appropriate lighting conditions.

Upon aligning the phone with the slope, a simple tap locks the data display for easy reading. The app also offers audible measurements and color-coded inclinometer dials that change based on slope steepness, providing immediate feedback on avalanche risk.

Sharing slope measurements and GPS location is streamlined with a single button tap, allowing users to send detailed information via email with KML and GPX waypoint files included for easy reference. The app conveniently saves email addresses for future use, minimizing user input.

While not complimentary, the Avalanche Inclinometer's value surpasses its cost, equating to less than the price of a beer at a ski resort. Consider it a gesture of appreciation towards Steve's efforts.

In conjunction with using the Avalanche Inclinometer, it is essential to undergo avalanche training, heed red flags, employ sound route-finding strategies, and regularly practice avalanche rescue techniques to ensure safe backcountry experiences.
