Free Codes for Powder Alarm iPhone App

Saw some free codes being offered in the iphone threads for a couple of cool apps and figured I'd share the love too. I make Powder Alarm for the iPhone which uses hourly snow telemetry data to trigger your alarm clock if a certain amount of snow has fallen over night. Essentially this is what I would do manually every morning to decide whether I should go to work or ski that day but I decided to make an app out of it. Currently supports the top Western US ski areas.

Please reply to the thread noting you've used a code. I would really appreciate it if you would rate the app in the app store too!

Thanks for the feedback, for those of you w/out iphones would you be interested in a web based version.  I can't decide whether to do that next, add features to the iphone version, or build one for Android or WP7.

Hey you all at NS are awesome!

1. I haven't found an hourly weather station which would give accurate snowfall for mt bachelor.   Would love to do it if I can find the right data source.

2. Still figuring out the East Cost weather stations (they run on a seperate network).  Definitely want to send the love that way. At least last year it seemed like you beat us here in the NW for pow days.  Hopefully la nina will change that though this year!

Seriously, I'm not trying to exclude anyone esp fellow northwesterners.  I do have Timberline (though I just realized I only labeled it Mt Hood; I'll get that updated soon).  I've got some vacation time coming up next week and if Ulr doesn't visit us here I'll try and get some more added.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.  Been out taking advantage of whistler pow last few days so just getting a chance to catch up on this.  I got a few new resorts added based on user feedback: Mammoth, Mt Hood Meadows, Hoodoo, Willamette, Kirkwood and Solitude.

Adding the east coast is more challenging and I've spent a quite a bit of time on it but don't have a way to provide a good user experience yet.  

I'm going to start on the android version over the holidays here and hopefully I can spit it out soon.  Keep the feedback coming and I'll try and keep the updats flowing (in-between storms).
