Do me a favour, if you don't mind? Can you check to see if Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is listed as one of the ski resorts?

Does it accept the CAXXxxxx/USXXxxxx-style codes? PocketWeather and WeatherPanel can generate the codes if you can find a lesser-known location in their databases, and the only way I can get the local weather in Spb weather is by using that code (which, incidentally, is CAXX0167).

Hi all, Just to let you know that Kicking Horse and Golden BC are supported as cities in their own right. Although Kicking Horse resort is obviously closed at the moment with regards to ski reports, we believe that it would be supported once open. Whistler/Blackcomb is still open and reporting successfully.
If a city is not listed in the initial list, then you can add it using the city lookup feature. Simply go to the city list and choose Add city, enter the name (or partial name) of the city, or the US zip code and select Lookup. If the city is supported (and 58,000 are!) then it will appear in the list and you will be able to select it. Full documentation is included in the zip file that you download.
Let me know if you have any more questions,
Nicky

Looks very nice!
Do you have to enter the weather maps manually as a .jpg URL or do you start with large standard continental maps that you can zoom into your desired location?

The weather maps are matched to the city that you have selected and yes, they will usually be large maps which you can zoom. We have access to many more maps showing different details and also in higher resolution, we will be utilsing more of these in future versions, so look out for these coming soon.

I am having two issues. One is when changing cities on the today screen the background and text of the weather program become washed out, the text changes from black to white and is not readable.
Also, cannot get the preferred start page of the program to default to 7 days, it always seems to go to the day view.
