How to check conditions ?
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nearby (within 30 km of your location): Turn GPS on, tracks and observations around you will automatically show on the main map (Home).\u00a0 Tap on any Track\/Observation to get details.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond: Search the map for a point of interest and discover the latest tracks around this point (still within 30 km), condition-levels, photos, comments, and more. Tap, swipe, enlarge playing with the App's features.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to read colours ?<\/h3>\n

Caution <\/em>: \u00ab Green \u00bb doesn't mean \u00ab Easy \u00bb\u00a0! <\/strong><\/p>\n

A green track can be extremely difficult to accomplish technically. Before attempting a track, one should at a minimum check\/study the (i) technical difficulties of the track, (ii) skills of the related group, (iii) weather reports, (iv) avalanche\/snow bulletins, and (v) terrain.<\/p>\n

Within MountaiNow, the colour-code used to describe the Global Conditions of a track should be understood as follows:<\/p>\n

Each user indicates a level of Global Conditions (i.e. a colour code) for his\/her track.<\/p>\n

Colour-coding is inherently subjective and to be interpreted in connection with the following elements: (i) Types of hazards identified on the track (see related icons, photos, comments); and (ii) Level of experience of contributors (see mention next to photos\/comments).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\nGood Conditions: <\/span><\/strong>Field conditions are favourable - relative to the technical level of the track<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\nAverage Conditions: <\/span><\/strong>Field conditions imply minor difficulties - relative to the technical level of the track<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\nBad Conditions: <\/span><\/strong>Field conditions imply major difficulties - relative to the technical level of the track<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\nVery Bad Conditions:<\/strong> <\/span>Field conditions imply extreme difficulties - relative to the technical level of the track<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
