Real easy! Words can not describe this app. On the ride up for Keystone openning day, I checked out the webcam, snow report and number of runs open. If it were not so early in the season, I could see myself picking a mountain based on best conditions. When I got on mountain it was awsome. The GPS trail map worked everyplace I tried it - in the trees, on top of the mountain, in the lodge, We usually ride the trees and when we pop out we usually have no clue where we are. Now when I get to a run and need to meet up I can find out where I am and how to get where I need to go. I was with five buddies, two had iPhones and signed up during lunch. Its cheaper than a burger LOL. Oh I tried it on my wifes iTouch and it works. I sent an email to support to ask if the maps are downloadable, and they said in the next release iTouches will be able to download the maps. These guys rock. I give it a thumbs up. Oh I tried podpro. It is nice, but the there fewer resorts (i.e I ride copper, breck, vail, keystone, and a-basin based on conditions - podpro only had copper, snocator had them all), no GPS trail maps, and not as much information regarding runs open and snow reports. The $6 bucks for the season is worth it! Ok…In action :) I read this post a few days ago, went to the website http://www.snocator.com to check it out, and signed up by texting “snow” to 90999.

Booo! I think if these developers were smart they would create versions for the blackberry. It seems like all of the fun apps are only on iPhone. Booo!
