A friend of mine gave me a newspaper cutting the other day from the Sunday Times listing some useful apps for various things.
These included Alpine Replay which works out how many calories you are burning :shock:
Action Shot which is for photographing of all things, action shots, using a burst mode.
Ski Tracks for stat nerds and includes speed, distance, vertical decent, altitude, no of runs, slope angle blah blah.
Mammut Safety which gives up to date information on local avalanche risks, this requires some information locally (avalanche risk) but then uses a built in compass and altimeter to check the area you want to ski.
Ski & Snow report, which is what it says on the tin.
All are free apart from Ski Tracks.

I would burn calories with a French tart?
:-P
You can never turn down a French Tart :wink:
I would imagine how many calories you burn whilst ski-ing depends on a number of things apart from the actual distance travelled - like the condition of the slope at the time, how fit you are, how good you are at ski-ing etc. ...

Surely there is an app for how many calories you intake during lunch and apres ski. I'm partial to french tarts for instance.

I ran 3 tracking apps while skiing in 3V, Alpine Replay, Ski Tracks and the Meribel app. I found Alpine Replay a bit flakey, despite says it had uploaded successfully only one of my 8 days appeared on the website.
Ski Tracks was so much better, worth the nominal cost.
Meribel adding tracking to their app is a nice touch, though fairly limited.
The 3 Valleys app was great, being able to see where you are on the piste map is good, plus you can pull up restaurant info, lift times etc
Both Ski Tracks and Alpine Replay have had an update launched this week. I'm not sure what the changes are, but will have another play in Mayrhofen.

In the style of iceman;
"I don't give a toss how many calories I eat or burn. I'm there to ski and eat what I like"

One of my mates has one of those watches that measures heart rate and works out calories burned from that. The reading from that would suggest that the calorie count on the apps are wildly inaccurate.
