Objectives of the platform

To structure your analysis, to consult and understand those of your colleagues. To safeguard and edit your own analysis’s

Simple and fast communication

With the use of a common language to explain and quantify the different elements to be analyzed, communication becomes simple and fast. Whether it is guides from different countries, the analysis over long distance or just view and understand the analyzes of other professionals.

Store and share information

With POWMAN, you can see the data of colleagues from other regions or a remote region before you go there. Powman stores your data automatically. You have the ability to edit them as needed.

Snow and weather history

Daily weather and snowpack analysis and graphs for the entire season make it easier for you to track the stability of the snowpack.

The collection of data is becoming more and more important. Over 10 years ago, we started to use the powder management system during the Turkey Heliski operation. The benefit has even increased since that time and it has proven to be efficient, increasing safety and easy to use. Datas can be find and compared to optimize the operation. A great tool and a must for every Heliski operation.

Sharing this information in a network will enable other users of POWMAN to contribute and benefit from information collected by guides that are actually in the field every day. Nowadays guides are not working in one area, but more and more across regions and countries. Having first hand information and data available about conditions in a given region, helps and supports the strategic planning to provide the best possible product to the client.

Es una herramienta de trabajo muy útil e indispensable para los que tenemos que gestionar el riesgo en terreno nevado. Después de rellenar fácilmente las informaciones que te solicita el programa en cuanto a meteorologia, estabilidad y otros elementos,  te proporciona una perspectiva objetiva de como se encuentra la situación en la montaña y te ayuda a desarrollar un cuadro de trabajo para poder minimizar al máximo tanto los peligros objetivos y subjetivos de la actividad. Dispone una opción de “run catalog” donde se pueden aportar y clasificar todos los descensos con toda la información útil tanto técnica y fotográfica de cada área. En resumen, es una herramienta de trabajo indispensable para el Guia de Montaña que trabaja en nieves no tratadas, quedando reflejado a diario todo el plan establecido antes de realizar la actividad y los datos obtenidos después de esta.

Lorsque nous avons commencé à travailler ensemble en Turquie en 2006 nous nous sommes vite rendu compte de la difficulté à formuler le ressentie de chacun concernant les prévisions de risques d’avalanches. Nous étions tous des guides expérimenté mais avec des origines territoriales différentes et chacun d’entre nous avait sont propre langage pas toujours compréhensible par les autres. Le développement du Powman a permis la mise à niveau de tous en apportant un langage commun facile à comprendre et permettant une formulation simple des impressions ressentie directement mises en rapport avec des faits. Une vraie évolution qui nous a permis d’avoir une gestion des risques communes et individuelle très performante. Un énorme progrès pour moi personnellement qui sera bientôt accessible et profitable à tous.

Alain Payot, Guide Chamonix / France

En 2007 la découverte du PowderManagement en Turquie a été comme un électrochoc! Quelques jours avaient suffi à me convaincre des bienfaits de cette application qui me permet depuis lors de skier tous les jours quel que soit les conditions. Ce programme de gestion des risques était jusqu’ici dédié aux bases héliski mais aujourd’hui, grâce à l’énergie de Thierry et de George, une version Powman Guide; est disponible pour tous les guides, freeriders Pro et amateurs. Bon hiver à tous!
