Routeplanning tool - Shameless self promotion
After working with the local avalanche center, we have created a route planning tool for backcountry use. We calculate aspect, and slope angle, and then give you a neat elevation profile and topo map for a user defined path. It will also calculate cumulative elevation gain and loss.
Its meant to be used to educate people about terrain before they even set foot outside... not a replacement for avalanche training or common sense. We also incorporated sharing so you can send your ski partner a proposed path.
You will need Google Earth installed to view, then click here.

I am basically looking for feedback from the community. We plan on keeping this site up and functional as an educational tool, free of charge and ad free.
