Ski tracks App

Just for all those new to the ski / boarding game there is an excellent App that you can get called Ski tracks. It basically turns your phone into a GPS and lets you know the distance you have gone, altitude max sped etc and puts it on a map. Well worth the 69p and you can show your mates how fast you have gone whilst having a few beers...

A great App, the OH and I both have it on our phones and compare distances and routes as well as top speeds. The app sometimes loses it's gps signal and I have a top speed of 278.1 mph as a result :-)
Other features include that if you take photos in different places on the mountain, they are noted on the routes.
Well worth 69p

Yep got it. There is a thread on here somewhere that talks about all the apps

Boardbiker! Much respect! 278mph, 447kph, a new world record!!!!
Beats my puny 102kph. And swallows my friend's 240 kph, (then a British record!)

For this reason, I am not a fan of the accuracy of apps. When I broke the Niederau day run record, there was a wheen of local analysis that would far out weigh any apps!

There was an update during the summer, not sure what's changed.

have always found these apps to be a bit hit and miss as others have said, will be trying my garmin watch out this season, trying to top 278.1 mph sounds like a good plan if I can just find a slope quiet enough :)

How do you get that speed on a board when you are sitting down most of the time? ;)

Everyone: The point he was making about the 278.1mph was referring to the fact that the GPS lost its signal so it reported a super fast time from point A to B when the signal was lost. You all were joking werent you? ;)
