Landing page captured for the 2026-11-10 issue.
For
Backcountry travelers near Mount Mamma and Hancock Pass
Worth noticing
CAIC danger colors stay unchanged; avalanche-problem marks use thickness for size and darkness for likelihood.

Field notes

The page offers a “Today (real CAIC)” view and a separate “Storm example (made up)” mode, visibly distinguishing the demonstration from the current forecast. Users can toggle slope-angle shading, aerial imagery, runout display, and terrain exaggeration, then tap a slope for local details. The map uses USGS 1 m lidar terrain; its labels stress that unshaded gray is not a safety rating and the map is not a go/no-go call.
