How it works

From sign-up to drop-in

Read the face.
Walk to the drop with a plan.

Facecast is the work you do before you drop in — calmer, slower, on your own terms. You load the actual face you will ride, draw the lines you are considering, and see how each one plays out before you commit. No score. No verdict. Just a clearer picture of the mountain.

1. Pick the face

Upload a photo of the face you will ride — or open a public one shared by another rider or coach. Aspect, fall line and any known features load on the canvas in one click.

2. Read the snow

Mark cliffs, spines, drops, runouts and exposure on the face itself. The drawing stays on the photo, so what you mark is what you will see from the bottom on inspection day.

3. Draw your lines

Trace several ski or snowboard lines on the same face and stack them side by side. Commitment, exposure and runout are visible per line — not collapsed into a guessed score.

4. Walk to the drop

Save your inspection and come back to it between training days, with your coach, or the morning you drop in. You step in with the line you trust, not the line you guessed.

Facecast does not decide for you. It is a tool for the rider who already knows that line choice is the discipline — and wants a calmer place to work it out.
