WHAT IS SNOWPILOT? 

SnowPilot is a FREE software program that allows you to collect snow pit and avalanche occurrence data onto your computer (PC or Mac)  This data is then uploaded to a database on the web where others can view it and researchers can grab the raw data.  SNOWPILOT IS FOR YOUR DESKTOP/LAPTOP COMPUTER.  It consists of two main parts:

    • From your personal computer you can enter in all pit data, as well as edit, print, and save your snow pit as a JPEG. 
    • At your convenience you can upload all your data to a central database.  From here you can search, view and print any uploaded pit (yours, as well as others) from your desktop.  You can do an advanced search based on state, mountain range, pit site, aspects or date.
