Introducing Vertrax.io

• Do you enjoy ski touring?
• Do you have a Garmin or Suunto watch?
• Are you constantly looking for new places to backcountry ski?
• Do you check the weather and avalanche conditions before you go?

Vertrax is an application that allows backcountry skiers and snowboarders to Explore, Know, and Track their adventures.

Explore

With Vertrax, we aspire to help backcountry users new terrain. We believe one of the main problems backcountry users face is the lack of knowledge of the terrain. Whether it is your home region, or you are traveling to a new place and want to ski tour. This knowledge is usually stored in guidebooks, which means this information is not readily available. We hope to bring this information to the forefront of the community so that backcountry users can explore new terrain.

Know

When exploring new terrain, it is important to know the conditions of the region you are exploring. To help accomplish this, Vertrax will bring forward the latest weather and avalanche conditions for the selected ski tour. This provides valuable information, to make sure that you are making the correct decisions in the backcountry. While we hope to enlighten users about the conditions, we, of course, hope that you are well educated in the backcountry.

Track

Now that you have explored and evaluated the conditions, the last aspect of Vertrax is to track your trips. We want our users to pioneer trips, and be the first person on Vertrax to log a trip. This not only helps you as the user, totally up your vertical feet on the year, and add to your statistics, but it also enables other users to explore your terrain.

Over the course of the upcoming months, we hope that you will provide your feedback to make Vertrax an application that you will use as a backcountry participant.
