Two skiers and a question
Photo: Tim BanfieldEvery backcountry trip starts with the same question: where did the snow actually fall? The answer is out there, spread across dozens of automated weather stations in BC and Alberta, each on its own site, in its own format. Where's the Snow at!? puts them in one place, with 12 hour, 24 hour, 48 hour and 7 day snow totals, so you can see it at a glance.

The idea, the testing, the photos
This was Tim's idea. He's a climbing and adventure photographer in the Canadian Rockies, and he got tired of clicking through station after station before every tour. He's our main tester and the skier's eye on everything we build, and he took the photos on this page. See more of his work at timbanfield.com and on Instagram.

Built it, keeps it running
Chris is the guy in the hole with the shovel. On the hill he's digging the snow pit while everyone else skis; at home he's digging through every station's readings, every hour, so the numbers here make sense. chrisbovard.com · LinkedIn

The small print, in plain words
We're an independent project, not part of Avalanche Canada, the BC government or any station operator. The numbers are raw sensor readings, not a forecast or an avalanche bulletin. Always check avalanche.ca before you go.
