Avycast
Avalanche bulletins from 21 countries, in 12 languages
Avycast aggregates official avalanche bulletins from around 30 regional warning services across 21 countries and shows them in one place. Every country runs its own avalanche warning service — EAWS members across the Alps, Avalanche Canada, CAIC in the United States, NZAA in New Zealand, SAIS in Scotland, JAN in Japan — each with its own website, layout and language. Avycast reads them all, normalizes them into a single schema, and translates the forecast text into 12 languages in the iOS app and 6 on the public website. The translation is faithful: forecaster text is never summarized or rewritten. Avycast is an aggregator, not a warning service — every bulletin links back to the issuing service. Built for backcountry skiers, splitboarders, ski tourers and mountaineers who travel between regions and warning services. The public website is free; the app is freemium.
Features
Current avalanche danger level on the EAWS 1–5 scale, per elevation band (above treeline / treeline / below treeline)
Avalanche problems with the affected aspects and elevations shown on a compass rose
Full forecast narrative from the issuing service: highlights, avalanche activity, snowpack analysis
A link back to the original source bulletin on every forecast
Bulletin text translated into 12 languages in the iOS app and 6 on the public website
Automatic nearest-region lookup by geolocation
Slope Evaluator for terrain-based risk assessment
Use Cases
Check the official avalanche danger before a backcountry ski tour or splitboard day
Read a national bulletin that is otherwise published only in the local language
Compare conditions across regions and countries when planning an international ski-touring trip
Comments
I ski-tour across the Alps, and every border crossing meant opening a different avalanche site in a different language — lawinen.report for Tyrol, slf.ch for Switzerland, Météo-France for Savoie, AINEVA for Italy. Each has its own layout, and many bulletins are published only in the local language. Avycast reads about 30 official warning services across 21 countries, normalizes them into one schema (danger level per elevation band, avalanche problems with aspects and elevations, the full narrative), and translates the forecast text into 12 languages. One rule I set from the start: the translation is faithful. No summarizing, no rewriting, no AI-generated safety advice — what you read is what the forecaster wrote, in a language you understand, with a link back to the issuing service on every bulletin. Avycast is an aggregator, not a warning service. Happy to answer anything about the sources or how the normalization works.
