If you had an app on your phone for skiing, what would you want it to do?

I am a college software developer looking to develop a new app. I want to make something that would be useful to skiers. Any ideas???

Of course your names will go in the credits of the app!

It would be supa dope if someone could create an app that would tell you the trick that you just did

ex. you hit a jump and dont know what type of flip you did... you would then do it again with your phone in your pocket and it would tell you the trick

Something that had different resorts and reviews of the park/backcountry/groomers etc. How the condition of the snow is and the amount of snowfall that they've gotten in the past 7days and/or 24 hours.

there have been a couple tries at this, but there aren't enough updates for it to be usable.

I think if it were marketed good enough it would be useful because people could make comments on the snow condition and how the set up is for the hill even. Idk I just think it would be kind of cool.

A steeze meter, or an app that tells you if your tee is tall enough.
if you want to get rich make an app/game that is the same as temple run but with a different skin, like the train jumper. this works for any popular app, like doodle jump or draw something / fruitninja ect. really you could just re-skin any popular app and re-release it to get millions of downloads. if you want you could even incorporate skiing like ski run or ski jump or ski something / ski ninja.

Something similar to "Spot Digger", but for skiing? It could be cool.

Best app would be called ski app and it would be a fun little game where you guide a small rabbit down a hill on skis. When you reach the bottom it just opens into a porn website

It's a good idea. You should make a thread in ski gabber to see if anyone is interested!

GPS that tells you speed, distance, elevation, and all the stuff ski tracks does but then plot your runs on a trail map of the mountain.
Also have backcountry information including downloadable maps and avi conditions
