chrisXL3 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I just searched on my iPhone for ski apps. The list is endless with stupid games. Any advice for apps that will record my stats and help me improve every time I hit the slopes? Usually the free ones always come up short and get you in the end. Thanks.

Johnny Style Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Firstly, welcome ChrisXL3, I hope you stick around. I enjoyed your first post and while I don't have any app suggestions for you; as you can see, there are many positive PASRs that can assist you. Â Secondly, will somebody please ban GSS? Â ChrisXL3 makes their very first post on the board. It is topical, germane, and designed to create constructive responses and positive discussion. The very first response is an inane one from the "Condition" (my pet name for GSS) and the exact opposite of what the OP brought to the table. Â I accept the fact that the "condition" trolls these boards, but to a virgin poster? This is the equivalent to somebody saying, "Hi, my name is Jim" and the initial response is "FU, get out of here." Is that what we want as an online community? Â I can only surmise that this behavior is meant to intimidate the OP and outright attack him. This will prevent OP from making any posts in the future. This will prevent any future PASRs from participating, or even viewing the board in the future. The board will suffer. The "condition" wonders why the board is slow. Take action now and ban GSS. Â The "condition" is like one of those old drunk guys that comes into a bar with twenty dollars, occupies a seat all day, gets drunk and harasses the young girls. The owner of said bar is too afraid to say anything so as a result he will be ensured of his daily twenty dollars from the drunk, but nobody else comes into the bar. Come to think of it, that is the "condition," just add Karaoke. Â ***Originally, this paragraph was filled with personal attacks so I deleted it, but will be glad to share them with others at Blue this year*** Â P.S. If you want to know why I call him the condition, ask on the slopes, I'm trying to keep this site PG-13. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast21602 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I forgot about phesheez. I'll have to use that tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisXL3 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. I never heard of phresheez. Sounds like an organic delicacy. I did buy both Navionics and Skitracks. Both were less than $5 each. I will try them both out and also will look up that p word too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootDKJ Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Im doing the $0.99 add on to Phresheez this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I haven't used it on snow, nor is it designed to be used for snowsports, but I use strava mountain biking and I could see some aspects of it being useful on snow, maybe more so if you're touring to track your progress on the same route with climbing speeds and such.

Schif Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I just unistalled Phresheez. As much as I loved it, it would open itself up and constantly want to check its location with the gps, that was absoloutely killing my battery.

chrisXL3 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 So, I checked them both out. skitracks best feature is the preview in 3D of any run. But Navionics offers so much more: ski reports, better mapping, resort lists, driving directions... Hope to use them both live next week.

chrisXL3 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 With so little snow last week, I used the Navionics app on my daughter snowtubing instead. It was nice to see her speed and elevation, plus i took photos and videos that are linked into the archives section of each run she made.Now i see the app is on sale for only 99 cents on the app store.

chrisXL3 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 just found some more apps, other than the navionics and ski tracks that i downloaded. Phresheez, snocru and coachseye. Any users of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
