3 skiing apps: for you tech & snow lovers

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

Some skiing applications for mobile devices are notoriously bad – and I mean bad. There are a few starting to emerge that are worth our attention, they actually have a purpose or achieve something. So instead of boring piste maps try iTrails 3d version, and if you’re having ski lessons for half the day you could get the ‘Ski School’ application to help consolidate your efforts when practicing alone (don’t use it instead of a ski instructor though – especially if you’re one for falling.) For those of you who fix up your own gear or perhaps the ski technicians out there check out the boot calculator app.
