Get ready to hit the slopes with Ski & Snow Report
Some of you are actually looking forward to the arrival of winter and all that snow. Those of you in this group are probably active winter sports enthusiasts. It won't be long now, in fact, at least one Colorado ski resort has already opened one lift and trail. If the weather cooperates, most of the rest will be opening over the next month in anticipation of the Thanksgiving weekend. Now you can get ready for the ski season with the Ski & Snow Report app. This free universal app runs on iOS 7.0 or later.
Ski & Snow Report has just about everything you will need to know before you take off on a skiing weekend or vacation. The app features hundreds of ski resorts from Maine to Idaho and all points in between. Once you find your destination resort you can check the weather, snow depth and condition, how many lifts and trails are open, when the most recent snow fell, and first hand reports from other skiers already on the mountain.
Users will also find the latest weather information in the Ski and Snow Report app including temperatures, sky conditions, wind speeds and directions and the chance of more snow. The app also provides a seven day forecast so you can start checking early in the week if you are headed out on the weekend.
One new feature included in the latest version of the app is the cost of lift tickets for daily skiers of all ages with breakouts for children, juniors, adults, and seniors. The Ski & Snow Report also provides information on any specials available like a two or six day passes.
Users will be able to see trail maps for the resort. These are in color and can be enlarged on your phone so you are better able to see the trails, facilities, and other markings on the map.
Other features in the app are web cams from most of the resorts, a guide to the latest gear available broken down by type and manufacturer, and the ability to receive notifications of new powder falling. Users choose the resorts they want and set a new depth of powder so you are always up to date on the latest conditions. This is a real plus if you are an avid skier and live close enough to get way with short notice.
Overall Ski & Snow Report provides skiers plenty of information to plan a weekend or vacation on the slopes. If you are looking ahead to the start of this winter's season grab this app and get ready. Now all you need is for the weather to change and to start dumping large amount of snow on the mountains,
