Terrain intelligence
See where the snow was, and the day it was seen.
SnowSight drapes satellite-observed snow over the 3D map and keeps the observation date beside it, so you judge freshness instead of guessing. Below is the live layer with every published scene of the beta region.
The short answer
SnowSight is a recent-observation layer in Traverse. Use it with elevation, aspect, route timing, weather and local reports to understand snow extent before you commit to a line.
Observation, not forecast
A forecast describes what may happen. SnowSight shows the extent observed in a usable satellite scene and keeps the scene date visible.
Read it with terrain
Compare snow extent with slope, aspect, elevation bands, route cruxes and weather at altitude. The useful question is not simply whether snow exists, but what it means for this line on this day.
Know the limits
Cloud, resolution, acquisition timing and surface conditions affect what satellite imagery can show. Use current field observations and official information as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is SnowSight real-time?
SnowSight is recent satellite-derived snow cover refreshed when a usable scene is published. The observation date remains visible.
Does SnowSight replace a snow report?
No. It is one planning input, not a substitute for current local observations, forecasts or professional judgement.
Is SnowSight included in Free?
Yes. SnowSight is free on every Traverse plan, on the web, iPhone and iPad. Coverage is a beta region around Chamonix and Mont Blanc for now.
