"BackcountryonX Backcountry has released a major expansion of Beacon Guidebooks content for the 2025-26 ski season, adding hundreds of newly curated backcountry ski routes across Colorado and Washington, the company announced on January 21. The update, now available in the onX Backcountry app, significantly expands access to vetted route information in complex mountain terrain, pairing Beacon Guidebooks' expert-authored ski descents with onX's navigation and avalanche safety tools."
"The most substantial expansion comes in Silverton , where more than 200 new descents have been added across 20 new zones. The Silverton content was authored by Beacon Guidebooks contributor Josh Kling and includes a wide range of terrain types. New offerings include low-angle ski tours in ATES 1 (Simple) and ATES 2 (Challenging) terrain, providing lower-exposure options during periods of elevated avalanche danger."

Comprehensive route beta was added for every backcountry ski hut around Red Mountain Pass, and the update added 26 new zones, 152 routes, and 98 descents including non-motorized terrain, sled-skiing areas, and trailhead details. Washington received 27 spring routes on Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams.
