Daily avalanche bulletin

[ferniesnow]

I have been looking and looking, reading and reading to no avail. How do I get daily bulletins sent to my mailbox?

I read that they are using RSS feeds. No where that I can find is there a place with my Apple computer to get this set up. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Doug, Have you registered as a user on the www.avalanche.ca website? There is a login in button in the top right corner that will allow you to sign up. open a forecast region and scroll all the way down on the right side. It describes how to do the RSS feed. I admit I've never used an RSS feed but i just check from my phone daily. I've attached a screen shot of the directions for starting a RSS feed.

I've done it on a real computer not that global warming, hippy apple chit. I'll see if I can remember how.

Just watched global news this morning and they don’t have a clue about avalanches they showed a sign of rocks falling not the avalanche sign guess we better watch for rocks in mountains falling on us

No workie. I hate it when organizations put things like this out and it isn't tested on all platforms. It is interesting to note that we used to get emails (not an RSS feed) but avalanche people said it "too cumbersome". How do all the other organizations do it? Costco.ca, SteepandCheap.com, Backcountry.com, and a host of others. All have a much bigger mailing list than Avalanche Canada and it works just fine.

End of rant.

Have you emailed them? They are generally very receptive to feed back. I have never RSS feed anything. Not really sure how especially since I'm not near my desktop computer. Generally check everything from my phone and loved them email. I'm currently beta testing their new avy app and it is pretty sweet.

It finally worked and I have got the RSS feed today. The only thing missing is the map and all the incident markers. I'll go to Avalanche Canada.ca to find that info.

I just use the avalanche canada app and it gives daily updates and markers that people report their findings ect.
