The pins (achievements) are ridiculous, it's like a real life video game.

i'm sorry but that is retarded. the only cool feature is how it tells you which of your friends are on the mountain

I dunno. I think its pretty cool that it tells you how many days you get, your vertical feet and what lifts you have taken. But the pins thing is retarded.

Sounds interesting, but like most mass-marketed applications it seems like it's aimed at the weekend warrior. The average NSer would rule that thing and get bored quickly.

i could care less about the pins. but having a way to log how much vertical i ski a day would be awesome, as is knowing which friends are on the mountain.

at a place like vail it would be a lot more fun getting pins on shitty snow days, than hiking a rail.

fuck... i was working on a droid application to do this. Mine was geared more in the direction saving marks for your own lines and giving the ability to share your spots if you want.
