Mammoth Mountain

Low-tide but perfectly skiable if you pick lines

Storm tracker

Storms tracked over the places on the map, so you see the weather coming before you go.

Being built

Tools

Three things I’m building for the map.

  • Garmin canyon app

    Canyon beta on a Garmin watch, for when the phone is packed away.

  • Canyon comparison

    Canyons side by side, to pick the one that fits the day.

About

Not an expert. Just another Joe trying to figure things out.

I try to bridge the gap between creative and logistics.
