I have downloaded the Snowpilot program and cant seem to get it to work correctly. I was told of another company called Advert, that also has a snow profile program, and wrote them several emails, but never heard from them. Does anyone knnow how I can contact them, if they still exist, if they’re on vacation....

Snowpilot is the palm based programme written in Java I believe. What kind of problems did you have?

thanks for the heads up though, I’d no idea these existed and had thought a couple of times about knocking one up

is there anything for the iphone though?

I was trying the program on my laptop and in some windows couldn’t insert the required information. However, my post was directed toward the existence/knowledge of the Advert program.

Snowpro advertise in the Avalanche Revue journal, it is a Windows based snow profile program

Snowpilot requires Java to be installed I think

the main problem I had was using a PDA in cold weather. You need a recent Java install - the standard Java supplied with Windows can cause problems.

Those are the two programs I know of. Snowpilot is ok but I do remember some flakeyness with the user interface. I will have to give it another go and report back.

Thanks for your thoughts on Java, I’ll give it a try. I cant put up U$260 for snopro software!

Let me know of any specific problems with snowpilot and I will see if I can help.
