Iphone Avalanche Safety App

I found a cool iphone app called "BCA" by the folks over at backcountryaccess.com

App includes

• a rescue guide
• tool for measuring slope angle / aspect
• tour planner
• Downloadable (offline) avalanche forecasts

There is another app by mammut that was interesting it walks you through a series of steps to assess the avalanche risk. Overall I like the BCA app better.

I do long for the day when my SPOT, GPS, radio, avy beacon, sat phone and cell phone are all one compact solar charged device. Many a partner have listened to be complain about it.

Well now I am disappointed in my typo. A rescue guild is way more exciting than a rescue guide.

Completely agree we have come so far in combining devices... but there are still so many opportunities
