Contours is a comprehensive tool designed for skiers, snowboarders, backcountry enthusiasts, and touring explorers to discover mountain locations and gather inspiration for new adventures. The app also enables users to track and log their outings using the smartphone's built-in GPS and camera functionalities.

It offers streamlined access to Avalanche Bulletins, which are automatically retrieved based on the user’s current location. Favorite bulletins can be saved for quick one-click access from the home screen, facilitating timely decision-making in mountain environments.

The inclusion of 3D Maps enhances spatial awareness by providing a detailed perspective of terrain features, aiding in navigation and planning amid complex mountain landscapes.

Map Layers allow users to overlay critical data such as slope angles, aspects, elevation, and avalanche start zones. These overlays are valuable tools for assessing potential risks and planning safe routes.

Offline Maps feature enables the download of specific regions for use without cellular coverage, ensuring reliable navigation during remote excursions. Users can store topographic data, slope information, and route details locally on their device for uninterrupted access.

The Route Planning functionality offers estimated durations, distances, and elevation profiles, assisting users in preparing appropriately for their intended journeys.

GPS-based Adventure Tracking captures real-time data during excursions, allowing users to review metrics such as total distance, elevation gain, maximum and minimum altitudes, and average speeds after each outing.

The Discover section provides access to community-uploaded photos of mountain areas, assisting users in planning their days on the snow. Contributors are encouraged to share images of lesser-known or favored locations to enrich the collective knowledge base.

Users can save locations, photos, and activity logs for future reference. This feature serves as a digital scrapbook of past adventures and supports more detailed planning for upcoming trips.

Privacy controls enable users to keep their recorded routes and media private at their discretion.

The Connections feature facilitates following friends or fellow athletes, allowing users to view shared activities and photos for motivation and community engagement.

While primarily designed for snow sports, Contours is also suitable for tracking other outdoor activities such as trail running, mountain biking, or paragliding.
