Hi, I'm Simon.

I'm one of the authors of Tignes Hors Piste: Le Guide Complet and Val d'Isère Hors Piste: Le Guide Complet — and a computer nerd.

I picked up an injury, couldn't ski, and decided I'd make myself useful by making the avalanche bulletin more accessible to everyone.

What AvalancheClarity does

The goal is simple: make avalanche reports easier to find, understand, and act on. Here's how:

• Translations — bulletins translated into several languages so you don't need to read French or German to understand the danger.
• Plain-language explanations — snow-science terms explained in context, so you know what "wind slab on north-facing slopes above 2400m" actually means for your day out.
• Quick access — find the bulletin you need quickly and efficiently, whether you're in France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Norway, or anywhere else in the Alps.
• Push notifications — on the app, get notified the moment your bulletin is published.
• Revision alerts — catch that sneaky 8am or 10am bulletin revision that most people miss.
• No more hunting — on the app, go straight to your bulletin instead of scrolling through pages with 15 bulletins mixed together or navigating confusing links to find the right one.
• Embeddable widgets — website owners can add live avalanche danger information to their own sites.

Embed the widget on your site

If you run a ski resort website, mountain guide service, or touring community, you can embed live avalanche danger data directly on your pages. It takes two lines of HTML.
