Gather round, fellow powder hounds! We noticed a pesky gremlin in the snowpack that caused a wipeout when opening details for certain routes. As an experienced guide, I know reliable gear is everything, so we dug the problem out and patched it up. Now you can study every line safely with Skida - the best app for ski touring world wide. Update your transceivers, check your bindings, and enjoy flawless route planning on your next alpine adventure!

Runout zones have now been added for Sweden. We have also packed a few things deep in the guide’s rucksack for exciting changes ahead. Stay tuned.

GPX has arrived in the pack. You can now import GPX files when drawing your own routes, export both Skida routes and hand-drawn lines, and open GPX files straight from the Android and iOS file system. To keep the skin track tidy, each user has 10 GPX exports per week.

We stretched the skins farther afield: you can now draw routes worldwide, even where map detail is thinner. Offline packs smarter, with larger areas around each route and clearer download info. The map now holds its line, your position behaves better, Fri Flyt joins the tour, and a few loose bugs were sent down the fall line.

Route info has been rebuilt from the ground up. You now get more route stats, an interactive elevation profile that shows where you are on the line, avalanche forecasts for past, present and coming days, avalanche problems matched against aspect and elevation, plus nearby observations and alternative routes. Drawn routes and Skida Pro routes can now be downloaded for offline use. We also fixed hidden buttons, stopped the app from bouncing between routes, and cleaned up smaller layout, design and translation issues.

Around the lodge table tonight the talk drifts to something new. Skida now ropes directly into Skida PRO — your guide can share tours, routes, and mountain notes straight into the app. Like fresh tracks appearing where the map was blank yesterday. Ask your guide if it’s time for a more modern guiding experience: https://skida.pro We also patched a handful of bugs and tuned the ride for a smoother journey in the hills. #safeturns #skitouringisforeveryone

New on the map: observations! Enable them in Map Settings and watch the mountains come alive. Tap any photo to zoom in—because snow texture tells tales. We’ve added snow-surface details and avalanche danger signs to each observation. It’s now easy to spot where conditions are great—and where they’re not. Every community area shows the current avalanche warning level, with a direct link to the forecast—faster choices, safer tours. Add your own observations and help the whole crew travel smarter. Shared info = shared safety.

Canada, welcome to the skin track! Skida now serves Avalanche Forecasts, Toporama maps, and Slope Angle shading for Canadian terrain — so you can read the mountains before they read you. We’ve also opened Community Observations: share snow conditions, avalanche-relevant notes, and the small clues that make big decisions. A good tour photo is welcome too — stoke is part of the weather. And a tiny comfort after a long day: the selected area in Observations is now sticky, so Skida remembers where you last reported.

After a long skin-track in fickle reception, we found and fixed the gremlin that could log you out in Offline Mode when coverage was poor and the network slow. Steepness Maps now stretch across Austria and Finland, and Communities have opened up for more countries and regions, so it’s easier to share lines and local wisdom. We also tuned a handful of smaller details for a smoother ride. And thanks to sharp feedback from Dario in Milan, the Italian translation reads a little cleaner—like fresh corduroy at sunrise.

• Draw your own routes directly in the map and get detailed terrain analysis • High-resolution slope, aspect and elevation insights for better planning • Connect your Garmin account and view your ski tours in the map • Analyze completed tours with terrain data — learn from every outing • Performance improvements and general refinements

Tap the map to see point details – coordinates, elevation, slope aspect, angle and a quick weather peek – like a tiny mountain guide under your fingertip. Tap elsewhere to hide it. Share favorite spots as app links or URLs like https://app.skida.app/map/?pos=[longitude],[latitude]. We also fixed a small gap at the bottom of the route sheet.

We chased off a few gremlins from the mountain map: routes no longer disappear when you tap them, the bottom sheet is easier to drag, and the search bar stops jumping in your face. Less fuss, more pow turns.

Lately we’ve been working on making Skida feel even better to use. The map now behaves much nicer in fullscreen, so you can really immerse yourself in the terrain. We’ve added a new avalanche danger icon that shows the danger level at the center of the map when you zoom in, helping you read the conditions more quickly. We’ve improved how route info appears on the small card, made some tweaks to route details, and polished the UI. More improvements are on the way! On top of that, we’ve done a round of bug fixes and polish to keep everything running smoothly.

We’ve updated the map screen design for a better experience. The filter tab has been removed from the bottom navigation bar, and you can now filter the routes shown on the map. We've also added a steepness map for Canada, topo maps for Austria and Spain, and an orthophoto map for Austria.

- Fixed bug where onboarding was broken on small screen sizes - Swedish steepness map added - Norwegian steepness and runout zones mapbox map layers are replaced by nve map wmts layers

Reworked onboarding, now with avalanche information. Filters: choose an area instead of a guidebook. Community: join by area instead of guidebook. Removed “Guidebook Home” from Settings. Subscriptions in Settings redesigned for a single Premium plan. Added Manage subscription button—opens your device’s subscription settings. All legacy paywalls replaced with the new Premium paywall. Filters now list all areas (formerly guidebooks) and routes; opening a route without Premium shows the paywall.
