Progress on digital avalanche forecasts?

Just curious; has there been any progress on digital avalanche forecasts? For example, using .klm files (Google Earth files)  in a way similiar to the NWS radar images?

This is an amazing product by the way; you can see the clouds as if you were flying in a plane above them, and you can set their transparency to your liking. If avalanche forecasts could be presented in this form it would be great!

I have downloaded thia a couple of times now and can't seem to get it to do the things you like about it.

Could you offer a little primer for those of us with lesser knowledge of it's workings?

Thanks.

I imagine avalanche forecasts could be issued in a way similar to the way warnings can be viewed with this program, although how much of an advantage it would give the user I'm not sure. Avy forecasts might be too general, with too many variables. One cool thing I did notice is that there are several high rez winter strips across Washington that are cool to look at. The snow really enhances the high resolution. Check out the Tiffany Mountain area NW of Conconully. If I remember right, those strips are new.

This did get me thinking though, that since forecast models include elevation models, that an algorithm could be made that assimilates winds, temps and precip, all at different elevations, to produce an avalanche danger forecast product just like any other field provided by the model. I'm sure it's possible, probably has already been done.
