I searched on my iPhone for ski apps. Too many to go over. Who has the time? And I know if it is free, it will cost me down the road. What should I bother with? I am looking for apps that will help me improve my time, record data so I can see it on my computer, maybe even share my pictures and runs. I did get some advice: Ski Tracks, iTrailMap, Navionics, and Snowedge. Thanks to all who respond.

I really enjoyed using ski trax last year, except it drained my iphone battery crazy. Nice google earth like view and easy to take pics and share.
But I haven't tried anything else so don't know if it would be same battery issue for all.
oh and for a not-so-techy person, it was really easy to use :)

Matt - I presume you meant AlpineReplay ????
Had a look at this for Android and it is quite interesting.
I had a quick look but not exhaustive to see if you can use wifi only to upload etc - thereby avoiding data sue. One thing I don't want is heavy data use when abroad (roaming turned off).

ski trax doesn't use data. but make sure you download it before you go unless you are on free wifi. I think there is a free and pay option and I have the pay option.
