Everything you love about Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map, now dramatically better. Version 5.0.0 is a ground-up redesign built for modern iOS: a sharper, more detailed map, faster and more reliable navigation, smarter search, and a cleaner waypoint experience that makes marking and finding spots effortless. Every screen has been rebuilt to be more responsive and intuitive, with enhanced iPad support that takes full advantage of the bigger display. The contour lines and slope shading in version 5.0.0 are based on high-resolution LIDAR data, increasing the detail of the contour lines and relief shading dramatically. Improved accuracy of the "30-degree slope shading" makes understanding terrain easier than ever. Version 5.0.0 also added more than 50 waypoint names and improves the location data on hundreds of waypoints.

Version 3.5.0 is now linked to the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Guide. After selecting any of the hundreds of linked-locations in the app and tapping on the "Tap here for more ..." box, photographs and detailed information about the location such as skiing difficulty, skinning distance, vertical climb, altitude, aspect, and slope angle will be displayed in Safari (see screenshot). You can tap on the "WBSkiing" text in the top-left corner of Safari to return to the app. Version 3.5.0 also has a new base-map with dozens of additions and improvements. As always, it's a free upgrade.

Improved ~25 items in the list of names.

Improved app stability (aka fixed a few bugs).

New shading was added to show ski area boundaries, the red slope-shading (that shows where the slope is steeper than 30 degrees) is now darker, the accuracy of the GPS was improved, dozens of minor changes were made to improve the location names, several usability improvements were made (e.g., the small compass is now always displayed on the map), and a bug on iPads was fixed (where swiping left-to-right could display a blank window).

Version 2.0.0 adds "slope-shading" which displays a red overlay where the calculated slope-angle is 30-degrees or greater. It also adds and improved several dozen named locations.

Version 1.2.0 contains more than 50 updates to the names on the map. These changes were based on suggestions from experienced backcountry travelers. This version also fixes a problem that could cause the app to crash when the iOS device was configured for a non-English language and fixed a few bugs in the "Email Current Location" feature (which is located on the Navigation page).

Fixed a problem in version 1.1.0 that could cause a crash on some iOS versions. (Version 1.1.0 was released for less than 48 hours.)
