I just bought a new pair of skis, and the process was quite cumbersome. Last year, my 2019 Atomic Bent Chetler 100s finally gave out. It took me until today, nearly 7 months later (although I wasn't constantly looking), to find a replacement - Salomon QST 100s.
I'm wondering if there's a tool that can be built to match skiers with 2-3 pairs of skis based on their skill level, skiing style, aesthetic preferences, etc.
I think there's a need for more consolidated avalanche reports. As a beginner, it can be difficult to understand all of the different metrics and measurements that different organizations publish to their websites. I think a potential solution would be to create an 'Avalanche Agent' that could give me a briefing on the current conditions based on live data and different reports.

I definitely agree to this point! Avalanche education often feels gate kept and it is a daunting subject to become familiar with. There are definitely tools and maps and guide publishings that can help people get started but it's not consolidated or as simple as it should be to get going imo.
