PowderRun - Know which ski run has the best powder before you drop in.

by•
Most ski apps tell you how much snow fell. PowderRun tells you which run to ski right now. It scores every run 0–100 in real-time based on aspect, elevation, wind, and fresh snowfall. North-facing runs hold powder longer. Gladed runs stay protected. PowderRun knows all of this. 95+ resorts across North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia. 10-day forecast, push powder alerts, and a 3D scored map. Free to download.

I built PowderRun because I kept showing up to the wrong run. You'd check the snow report, see "20cm overnight" and think it was going to be a great day — then spend half the morning hunting for where the good snow actually was. Resort-level data doesn't tell you that the south-facing runs got baked by sun, or that the wind loaded the north-facing ones perfectly. So I built an algorithm that scores every individual run 0–100 based on aspect, elevation, wind exposure, solar radiation, and fresh snowfall. It knows that north-facing runs hold powder longer. It knows gladed runs are protected from wind. It knows high-elevation runs stay cold longer. Started as a single HTML file for one resort. Now it covers 95+ resorts worldwide. Would love feedback from skiers and snowboarders here — what would make this genuinely useful for your mountain?

How do you handle resorts with limited or weird trail data, do you rely on public GIS maps ?
