I have been seeing a pop up myself and a note in POWDER that FATMAP is bough and swallowed by STRAVA. While they are importing some of its features most will not be ready by this winter!!
I believe most if not all FATMAP (FREERIDIING) & (BACKCOUNTRY) routes being "SIDE-COUNTRY" and "IN BETWEEN" trails & routes are about to be "LOST"

Yes, Strava is transitioning FATMAP into its own app and website will be retired on October 1, 2024. However, Strava is integrating some of FATMAP's features into its own app and website, including:
from STRAVA
"As we look ahead, we are in the process of integrating FATMAPs 3D map, including winter satellite maps and terrain tools, into other map screens within the Strava app and website.
In addition, FATMAP route content, excluding user generated content, will be moved to Strava. We are currently working on the new home for these routes so they can be used seamlessly within the Strava app."
"We appreciate that many of you use certain FATMAP features that will not be available in Strava in time for the coming northern hemisphere winter. This includes waypoints, personal guidebooks, national topo maps (including IGN and OS maps), offline map downloads of the FATMAP map and live snow and piste information. We are exploring adding these and similar features to Strava in the future."

Almost the entire winter backcountry recreation community relies on Fatmat for its visualization, overlay, and route planning/recording capabilities. Why has Strava failed to address the concerns of Fatmap users ahead of its deletion on October 1st? I am worried that myself and others will be exposed to greater risk without access to these backcountry features. Strava will be directly responsible for an increase in backcountry accidents, incidents, and potential fatal accidents due to the disappearance of Fatmaps features and capabilities.

Re: What to Expect as FATMAP Transitions to Strava
As of today Strava is not remotely as good as FatMap to prepare a hike and use during one. As mentioned below, we can understand but please don’t make FatMap go offline. The truely great feature of FatMap is the ability to have topo maps available like the IGN, please keep that feature!!
