Strata – An app that talks me out of dying outdoors

4 hours ago

Strata is a mobile app for planning and tracking backcountry ski tours and mountaineering routes with safety in mind.
It integrates multiple data sources, including avalanche bulletins, slope angles, aspects, weather, and fire perimeters, into one platform.
The app provides a clear safety verdict in plain English, assessing risks like wind slabs and changing forecasts, unlike apps that just present raw data.
Key features include offline maps, route planning, live crew location sharing, and one-tap SOS functionality in emergencies.
A Pro version offers advanced route building that snaps to trail geometry, offline map downloads, unlimited saved routes, and trip reports.
Strata prioritizes user privacy, does not sell or share data for advertising, and uses location data only for core functionalities like mapping and crew sharing.
