Alpine Replay is a good app that keeps track of how many runs you took, what mountain you were at when you took those runs, and what trails you took those runs on. It also keeps track of cool statistics like time spent on lift, time spent on mountain, total distance, max speed, average speed, and even calories burned haha

do you guys get cell service out west at the mtn's? I've found the majority of east coast mtns, especially in VT have no service of any kind rendering most apps useless that require the internet.

I really like the Salomon freeski app, it makes you create a account to you can see other skiiers who have the app around you. It also lets you check forecasts/powder and how much snow a resort has gotten + every condition possible. It has freeski TV on it when you get bored as well! Great app, its free 2 so check it out.

Steeze, there's two reasons why the apps were 80/20

1) the theory behind the post was skiing apps for a "ski trip"
2) the actual apps (not ski games) weren't very good actually in previous years.

With that being said, soon we will have our 2013 Android Apps out and it does have more actual ski apps.

There's also Oakley airwave and another by recon instruments. They are similar to alpine replay, but I haven't gotten a chance to use either yet

the best ski app for the back country is Google Maps (using topo view). If you make the map offline you can use it without service. App has kept me from getting lost on several occasions and is great for route finding when your setting a new skin track.

H Stew, Tshombe with Navionics here.  Another person asked a similar question about ski apps and I posted this track from the Navionics Ski App I ran a couple of weeks ago.  Let me know if you have any questions about it.  Click for larger image
