WHAT IS SNOWPILOT?
SnowPilot is a FREE software
program that allows you to collect
snow pit and avalanche occurrence
data onto your computer (PC or
Mac) This data is then uploaded
to a database on the web where
others can view it and researchers
can grab the raw data. SNOWPILOT
IS FOR YOUR DESKTOP/LAPTOP
COMPUTER. WE ARE NOT SUPPORTING
PDA (PALM PILOT) SINCE THE DEMAND
HAS SHIFTED TOWARDS A DESKTOP
VERSION. It consists of two main
parts:
-
From your personal computer
you can enter in all pit data,
as well as edit, print, and
save your snow pit as a JPEG.
-
At your convenience you can
upload all your data to a
central database. From here
you can search, view and print
any uploaded pit (yours, as
well as others) from your
desktop. You can do an
advanced search based on
state, mountain range, pit
site, aspects or date.
