Ski Tracks 4+

If you’re like me and ski/snowboard several + times a year, then I’d def recommend you buy this app. It tracks and saves personal stats (speed, # of runs, vertical, etc) from you’re day on the slopes. It’s not a super sophisticated app, but rather a simple app that makes it fun to see how you didn’t the end of the day.

It’s easy to use. All I do is hit the Play button (start button) when I first arrive, and then it just runs and records in the background while I listen to music and enjoy the mountain. At lunch, I’ll hit the Pause button, and then will hit play again when I head back out. At the end of the day, you press the stop button, and save it.

Once saved, I’ll then review my stats from the day, and will compare them to previous days and/or previous ski trips that I saved to see how I did. It’s also fun to compare your stats with your friends to see who had the fastest speed, or the highest vertical, etc.

It’s also neat to review your trail map for the day, which shows each of your runs highlighted, and numbered so you can see where you went around the mountain that day (can also review any previously recorded day).

There may be better apps out there for recording/tracking your day’s ski stats (and other stuff perhaps), but if you’re just interested in reviewing your basic stats from that day, then you’ll be happy you purchased Ski Tracks.

Hope this helps someone, and you find it worth it like I do.

I’ve been using this for 4-5 years and really like it. It is set and forget. You just turn it on, throw your phone in your pocket or backpack and off you go. Not sure how the iPhone gets such a good GOS signal when not out in the open, but it seems to work all the time. I haven’t done much with it other than check my stats at the end of the day and see what we did. It’s really cool to know how much vertical and how many miles you've traveled. There’s more to it than that; you can store photos. It seems to be pretty accurate as far as mph, distances, showing your exact route, etc. but hard to say because there’s now way for me to verify the data with another tool.

Request for developer: It would be really great to have a picture page in the app that shows all of the pictures from the runs and you simply my scroll down the page through the pics and click on a pic to review that track. This way, if you remember a great feature on a mountain you can snap a pic of it in the app and easily use ski tracks later on to help find the exact run that got you there. People would love this if done with a slick interface.

I love this app and that I can operate it from my Apple Watch! It so nice not to have to dig my phone out to start a track. I use it primarily for skijoring which I track as Dog Mushing in the app.

I have one complaint/suggestion. I wish I could start a dog mushing track from my phone. I know I can edit this later in SkiTracks, but it imports the run to my Health App where I can’t edit what type of track it is.
I would suggest a scroll through list of activities on the watch, or allow the user to choose what type of tracks can be started via the watch. I know this is a relatively minor thing, but it’s something I’ve been wishing for since I started using the app several years ago.
