We believe that the "Maps" screen in OpenSnow is one of the most underutilized features of our service and the All-Access subscription.

Our high-resolution maps allow you to track incoming storms with current and forecast radar, view the estimated snow depth for any location in the United States, see how the avalanche conditions are trending over the past 7 days, and much more.
