⚖️ Safety & Legal Disclaimers

• • Resort conditions change daily — always verify current status, open runs, and lift operations directly with the resort before your visit.
• • Backcountry skiing and riding is inherently dangerous. Avalanches, cliffs, tree wells, and changing snowpack conditions can cause serious injury or death. Always carry beacon, probe, and shovel. Travel with trained partners.
• • Avalanche forecasts are guidance only — they do not guarantee safety. Conditions vary by slope aspect, elevation, and time of day. Check local avy center forecasts before every backcountry outing. Never ski avalanche terrain alone.
• • SNOTEL data may have measurement errors or delays. Snowpack readings are automated and may not reflect actual surface conditions at your specific location.
• • Weather data is sourced from Open-Meteo and may have up to 30-minute latency. Conditions at resort can differ significantly from the model output. No forecast is guaranteed accurate.
• • Road conditions can change rapidly — mountain roads may require chains, AWD/4WD, or close entirely. Always check state DOT road condition hotlines before travel.
• • PeakScout does not inspect, certify, or patrol any ski area or backcountry route. All decisions about resort visits and backcountry travel rest solely with you.
• • Do not use "safe" language to describe any backcountry terrain. There is no safe avalanche terrain — only managed risk.
