The Powder Alarm
Set a fresh-snow threshold and a wake time. It only sounds the alarm if your home mountain actually got the goods overnight. Sleep in on the bad days. Never miss a blower day.
The Powder Oracle is a palm-sized device that tells you — at a glance — whether tomorrow is worth the early alarm. Daily snow briefings, storm forecasts, and a Snow Alarm that only wakes you when it actually snowed.

The Powder Oracle isn’t an app you open — it’s a physical object with presence, quietly tuned to the mountain you love.
Its screen, its light and its ambience shift in real time with what’s happening at your favourite resort. A storm stacking up overnight, fresh snow at first chair, bluebird skies on the summit — the Oracle reads it and casts it into the room around it.
The glow it throws, the colour it holds, the mood it sets — all of it tells you from across the room whether it’s going off. Conditions you feel, not just check.
Every night our system gathers official resort reports, runs high-resolution mountain weather models, and pulls avalanche bulletins for resorts worldwide.
It distills all of that into a clear daily briefing, a storm forecast, and a 30-day history — for every resort you care about.
The Powder Oracle pulls the latest over Wi-Fi and shows you the answer at a glance — then wakes you with the Snow Alarm when it actually snowed.
Set a fresh-snow threshold and a wake time. It only sounds the alarm if your home mountain actually got the goods overnight. Sleep in on the bad days. Never miss a blower day.
Every morning the Oracle reads the snow, the models, and the storm cycle, then writes a plain-language Quick Take for each resort. Not just numbers — an actual answer to “should I go?”
Today and tomorrow: new snow, base depth, 7-day total, temperature, and wind. Legible from across the room.
Short-range mountain forecast — chance of snow, expected accumulation, and a temp trend so you know if it stays light and dry.
Track all your mountains. Swipe to switch between them. Star one as primary for the default view and your alarm.
A snow timeline of the last month — see the whole storm cycle, not a single snapshot.

Alpine, Treeline, Below Treeline danger and official forecast summaries. An awareness aid — never a substitute for a preparedness and smart choices.
A luminous orb with a subtle glow that shifts with the conditions outside. It translates mountain conditions into a feeling, a living pulse, creating a quiet sense of anticipation.
