Apps like Ski Tracks ($0.99) by Core Coders make great use of the strengths of the iPhone. The app uses GPS to record your ski tracks, but goes way beyond that to provide you with a full set of stats including max speed, distance, vertical, altitude, number of runs, and elevation profile. You may download ski trail maps (standard and satellite) for virtually any resort worldwide. The app continues to track and record your stats even when you're not in cellular range. You can take photos without leaving the app, and share tracks in Facebook. Review your track profiles at the end of the day. It's well worth taking on your next ski trip. Image © Core Coders
