Frequently asked questions
We read each run the way a local would: the air temperature, how much sun hits that slope (its aspect and the sun's angle), whether it refroze overnight, whether it's groomed, how much new snow fell, and how hard the wind is blowing.
That tells us the surface, run by run and hour by hour: powder, packed, corn, firm, or ice.
And we never make it up. When we don't have the data, we say so.
This winter. A small group of founding testers uses it first at a handful of home mountains, and tells us when a call is wrong. It opens to everyone once the reads hold up against what they actually ski.
Until then, the map is a preview running on sample data so you can see how it works. It isn't a forecast.
Check it before you ski, then tap once to tell us whether the call matched the snow. That's it. Every report makes the model sharper for your mountain.

No. Is It Skiable describes in-bounds snow surface quality at ski resorts. It says nothing about avalanche danger. Heading out of bounds or into the backcountry? Read your local avalanche center's forecast at avalanche.org.
Today's read will be free on the web, no account. A Season Pass adds the full outlook and powder alerts, and it's the same pass as Is It Rideable's, so one pass covers your whole year.
Founding testers get theirs free.
