I have a couple but I think my favorite is "Ski Report." Although sometimes I am quite skeptical about all of the snowfall amounts, for the most parts it's an awesome app and very convenient.

Snow report is good but isn't updated often enough to be relevant. All snow is ok too. Quiksilver snow is eh but it caters to Europe. If you go to p-city alot, the skiutah app is decent too.

The deal with Snow Report apps is that they all get their data from the same source (it was two sources but I'm pretty sure Vail bought their one competitor and it will become one source soon). So even thought the UI might be different (of those apps I like OnTheSnow myself) the data is all the same.

Now that I set you up Powder Alarm is my favorite (though I built it too, so maybe I'm biased). www.hibabysoftware.com/powderalarm
I use the actual snow hourly telemetry data so can do cool things like wake you up at 5 am before OnTheSnow has updated data.

For non-snow report apps I think its hard to beat solipskier for a game.

Most of my effort lately has been on my other app (see my sig). If the work on that settles down I will take the time to finish the android version of powder alarm.
