Features
What the Snowborn Tool does
Line scouting with photo and location
Take a photo of the slope, draw the line, name it and add a note: your album and map for future descents.
Tour planning and pre-tour check
Plan objective, route and timing, record the avalanche level and your decision (go, adjust, no-go) and run the checklist before you start.
Offline in the terrain
The tool keeps working without signal. Your data always stays on your phone.
Important: The tool is a web app, not an app-store app. For it to work offline, open it once beforehand with internet and add it to your home screen.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Can I use the scouting tool on my phone in the terrain?
Yes. The Snowborn Tool runs in your phone's browser and works offline once you have opened it with internet. Best add it to your home screen.
02Does the Snowborn Tool replace my touring or map app?
No, it complements them. The Snowborn Tool is your dashboard with an overview of everything: tours, calendar, photos with lines, logbook, checks and packing lists, and for guides also guests, briefing, incident and season report.
03Can other guides use the tool for their own clients?
Yes. The guide version is for everyone who leads guests: snowboard guides, mountain guides and ski schools. Each guide gets their own access code.
04What does the tool cost?
In winter 2026/27 the tool is free for everyone; an access code is still needed. The first 10 founding guides keep it free for life; a season fee starts next season.
05Where is my data stored?
Only on your phone. SNOWBORN stores none of your data and has no access to it. Make a backup now and then; the app reminds you.
06What is the Snowborn Tool?
Your dashboard for the winter: tours, calendar, photos with drawn lines, logbook, checks and packing lists in one place. The guide version adds guests, briefing, incident report, invoices and season report.
07What is the difference between the guide and rider versions?
The rider version is for everyone who heads out on their own: tour planning, photos with lines, snow observations, packing lists, pre-tour check and logbook. The guide version has all of that plus guest files, signatures, briefing, incident report, invoices, admin and season report. Each version has its own access code.
08How do I get an access code?
On the Tool page: choose guide or rider and request access by email. You get the code by email, Instagram message or WhatsApp, with a short guide.
09Is one code valid for several people?
No. One code is for one person. If you work as a team, each person requests their own code.
10How do I install the tool?
Open snowborn.at/guide.html on your phone and enter your code. Then add it to your phone: on iPhone in Safari tap Share and “Add to Home Screen”, on Android in Chrome tap ⋮ and “Install app”.
11Why is the tool not in the app store?
The Snowborn Tool is a web app. It runs in the browser, needs no app-store download and no account, and your data stays on your phone.
12Does the tool work without signal?
Yes, once you have opened it with internet. Open it at home or in the valley before you head into the terrain.
13How does line scouting with photos work?
Take a photo of the slope, draw your line, name it and add a note. The photo is saved with its location: your album and map for future descents.
14What is the pre-tour check?
A checklist in four phases: the day before, at the meeting point, on tour and afterwards.
15How does the logbook work?
Log your tours on your phone. At the end of the season the tool creates a report as PDF and spreadsheet, for your accountant.
16How do guest files and signatures work?
Guides keep a file per guest. Guests sign on the phone; the signature is saved with date and time.
17What happens in an emergency?
The tool shows your GPS location and a ready emergency text to copy and send, plus emergency cards for Austria and the USA. In an emergency, always call rescue first.
18How do I back up my data?
Because everything stays on your phone, make a backup now and then. The tool reminds you and backs up with one tap to iCloud, Google Drive or email.
19What if I lose my phone?
Without a backup the data is gone, because SNOWBORN does not store it. With a backup you restore it on your new phone.
20When does the tool start to cost?
In winter 2026/27 it is free for everyone. A season fee starts next season. The first 10 founding guides who give regular feedback keep it free for life.
21May I copy or rebuild the tool?
No. The Snowborn Tool is protected by copyright. Details are in the legal notice.
