iSki allows the user to get updates on current snow conditions for most of the world's ski resorts. A summary resort page lets you scan conditions by region, while a resort detail page includes weather conditions, webcams, trail maps (some of which are GPS-enabled) and more. When enabled, an alert feature sends a text message to the user in the event three inches or more new snow falls at their favorite hills.
Unlike other snow reporting apps, the iSki's Pace Tracer feature tracks the user's speed and altitude using the iPhone's GPS technology. Sidekick Search uses Google Maps to find your friends who can't keep up.
Units for snow depth, temperature and GPS data are selectable between English and Metric units. GPS data can be turned on or off by the user.
iSki is free to download thanks to advertising support that appears in the form of a splash screen at launch, as well in the app's Cash Stasher feature that includes coupon discounts that can hook up the user with places to eat, sleep, and shop.
iSki is now available for free download from the iPhone App Store. More information may be found at iski.apptime.com.
