Just get rid of it. I look at my zone and by January to get anywhere close to what is on the ground you will need to break the zone into at least 3 more zones. Also not sure what this means: Each day as we evaluate the avalanche danger, we’ll also determine which parts of the Colorado mountains have similar avalanche conditions. Then we’ll write an avalanche forecast describing the avalanche problems and avalanche danger across that forecast zone.
So are we going to see donut zones with Wolf Creek, Irwin, Schofield and up by Steamboat?off your knees Louie

Wow! Lots of comments here interesting...
I'm looking forward to the new system. I can't wait to see how one area next to another will be forecasted (Black Lake Ridge of Vail Pass Vs. Uneva Peak of Vail Pass). And I have been pushing for the afternoon forecast for years.
A lot of your questions can be answered in Ethan's blog, linked below here.

Went through the blog and explored the new site. Is there still a drop down menu for snotel totals?
I could bring up snotel data but having totals arranged by zone or state wide is kinda nice!

Thanks.
Haven’t opened the laptop yet. I found that page but the old drop down box was great for laziness reasons.

And the Snowfall totals are back!

Does clicking Observations take you to the Forecast page for anyone else? You can still click the right observation page from the drop down but just clicking the Observations tab directly doesn't seem to work.

So, click upper right, you get drop down with options and the Observations tab has two different links. One is the arrow and that has a drop down with options, the second is tapping Observations which brings you to the weather forecast.
Hope that makes sense.
That’s what I’m finding.

New site is OK but needs some tweaking, which I'm sure they're getting around to. Pics are all jacked up for me on safari.

Why is the map dominating the website when the key information (forecast, forecast discussion, relevant obs/photos) is what we all want to see? The layout is a step backwards IMO as it currently stands. The map needs to go away when you click on the forecast so you can see the whole page as forecast information. I also don't think changing the forecast zones make sense. And the website is unusable on a mobile phone, which is probably were a majority of users are trying to access it from. Appreciate the thoughts and efforts to make the website better, but the user interface/experience needs updating.

Is there a map (on CAIC or elsewhere) that shows the weather stations? Would be pretty sweet if those were geocoded on the Avalanche Explorer map - and then you could link through to the data.
Also, the app will be back correct? Being updated to align with the new zoning presumably?

Yea, I agree. Although you can look at the weather stations on the CAIC site, it's not map-based. Here's a link to a map of the Snotel stations:

Did ciac stop emailing avi reports? Or have they not started for the season yet?

Mobile app updates to support dynamic zones are in progress.
Re:emails -- if you were a previous subscriber -- you should have received an email explaining what is happening with that service.
Weather stations: there isn't a map of these currently on CAIC website.
Feature requests, bugs, usability concerns or questions are best directed to the contact form on the webpage or emailed to the CAIC.

Also, just saw that Gaia (gps app) added all the stations (and data if you click) as a map layer. Handy

I emailed them yesterday and here's what they said: "We are not currently emailing forecasts. That's not something that our new forecast system does. We sent a survey to all subscribers last season, and some additional information. Between the lack of interest, the huge resource commitment that emails required, and the new forecast platform, it was a feature we dropped from the priority list."
I agree with whoever said they liked the emails for keeping up with the snowpack on days you aren't skiing- of course I could do that by going to the site every day but I know I won't. But I get it.

Thanks for contacting them to get the details. Too bad they dropped that service. I found it very helpful since I didn't go the the website very often.
