About this app

Skill is a ski tracker for skiing and snowboarding. It records every run on the slopes with GPS speed, distance and your route on the resort map, and shows where your friends are on the mountain in real time.

Put your phone in your pocket, ride, and see your whole day on the map when you are back at the lift.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open Skill when you get to the resort.
2. Put your phone in your pocket and ride.
3. Check your runs, top speed and distance on the map — after the lift or at the end of the day.

Skill detects when you go downhill, when you are on the lift and when you take a break, and records each run automatically. No buttons to press, and it keeps recording even without cell service.

WHAT YOU GET
• Automatic run tracking for skiing and snowboarding
• Top speed and distance for every run, day, trip and season
• Resort trail maps with your GPS tracks on top
• Live friend locations and in-app chat to meet up
• Leaderboards at your resort and worldwide
• Offline recording — no signal needed on the slopes

HOW FAST WERE YOU REALLY?
Every run gets its own stats: top speed, distance and time on the snow. Open a run to see its line on the trail map, compare today with your best day, and watch your progress grow through the season. Your personal records are always one tap away.

NEVER LOSE YOUR CREW
Add friends and see them on the trail map in real time. Lost someone after the lift? Check the map, send a message in the app and meet up — no calls with frozen fingers, no switching apps. Skiing and snowboarding in a group finally gets easy.

COMPETE WITH OTHER RIDERS
See where you rank among friends and other skiers and snowboarders, at your resort or around the world:
• Max speed
• Total distance
• Best time on a specific run
Rankings are separate for skiing and snowboarding, so you can compete in both.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.

Ratings and reviews

The best app for skiers and boarders I've seen! It does all the work by itself. Just turn it on before you start and turn off after you finish your day. All tracks will be automatically counted and separated from lifts, rest and so on. Friends tracking is super cool! You don't have to search for your friends visually on slopes or phone them, or wait at a lift. Just open the app and see the on the map. The only feature I want to see - is to be able to export my tracks.

Nice app, however I'd add some minor improvements as: 1) Need to add ways of communicating with friend, as if you've found and added some friends during the ride there's no way to send them a message or find FB profile 2) App oftenly takes downside cable car rides as moving down the slope and if you try to report the event or stop it from it - it'll just proceed 3) Some rides were not recognized by the app and never appeared in it 4) Does not ask a permission for permanent GPS usage

This is a great app if you ski often, I love all the data collected, mapping and individual run stats. Definitely no complaints from me.
