Why it exists
PowAlert is a free ski forecast and SMS stick-alert service for multi-mountain pass holders. Check multi-day snow outlooks for the hills you ski; set a stick (your snow threshold); get a text when the forecast crosses it — as early as the forecast shows. No paywall for the core multi-day view; we don’t employ a local meteorologist to hand-edit the next 24 hours the way some paid forecast products do. Stick SMS is how you take the day without refreshing all morning.
What you get
Free long-range forecast — no paywall on the outlook. Stick SMS and optional app sit on top.

FAQ
Is it free?
Yes. The extended multi-day outlook is free — no paywall. Stick SMS sits on top. Public weather models.
What is a stick?
The snowfall amount worth taking the day. You set it. When a hill you follow crosses that number, you get one text.
When does the text fire?
As early as the forecast shows a followed hill crossing your stick. One SMS — not a daily digest, not a map.
Do I need an app?
Web and SMS work on their own. The app is optional.
