Built by a bunch of snowsports enthusiasts and instructors, the snowbuddy app is the most social winter sports app with stats, piste maps and challenges to play with your friends.
No permanent internet connection is required, simply track your day on the slopes, add your challenges and connect to the web when you get home to upload your stats and compete with your friends.
snowbuddy will be your best buddy on the mountain, but don’t just take our word for it:
----------
“I'm definitely going to tell all my students about this app, I'm sure every single one of them will love it" - Christopher Hollman, Ski Instructor Skischule Edelweiss
"This app is amazing. It's helped me track all my stats and I'm totally loving it, not sure what I did before I had Cristof in my pocket" - Florian Jaccard, Sponsored Skier
----------
snowbuddy combines all the data you get from other winter sports apps with a modern design to highlight the information that matters most. But there’s more to skiing and boarding than distance travelled and top speeds. There’s also the fun and social side to the mountains too.
snowbuddy allows you to compete with your friends, those around you and those in other resorts, in a range of different challenges. From skiing the first run of the day to spotting a onesie, pulling a 180 off a kicker or completing a run while on the phone to your mum.
Access worldwide piste maps which plot your tracks, see where your friends are on the map and yodel at them to let them know where you are. You’ll never be lost or lonely on the slopes again.

"Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
Cristof is currently waiting for more fresh pow to arrive... So while he's sat inside while the sun is shining outside he's decided to make the most of his time, and prepare snowbuddy for when the fresh pow arrives...
He's been working on various performance tweaks to make the app run faster and smoother... The session screen now shouldn't glitch out as much as it was, making it even easier for you to see where you've been and how fast you wen't...
He's also fixed his mistakes when figuring out how many runs you've done in the day. So rather than counting EVERY time you stop as a new run, he's actually taken that into consideration. Some people stop, it's what happens.
Anyways... it's all been tweaked and improved... Enjoy the pow!
