About this app

Skiwise allows Nordic Skiers to connect with a vast network of fellow skiers to share trail conditions, trail details and more. It's an essential tool for optimizing your workouts and connecting you with your local ski community.

We solve the problem skiers face every winter where they get gear up to go skiing only to arrive at a trail system to find that it hasn't been groomed recently. We fix this problem by crowdsourcing trail reports directly from your mobile device.

Skiwise accomplishes this goal through it's 3 primary features:

Crowdsourced Trail Reports -
View, edit and create trail reports directly from your phone. We feature the ability to subscribe to trails you frequently ski at and be notified when new trail reports are submitted for that trail.

Optimized Trail Discovery -
Discover trails based on location, rating, city and more! View past trail reports and details on the trail system including number of kilometers and ski pass information.

Nearby Trail Map -
Find out what trails are closest to you! Going to a new city for the weekend? Browse the local trail systems in that area as-well. There's no limit to the capabilities Skiwise offers.

Skiwise is dedicated to improving your skiing experience. And these features are just the tip of the iceberg! With future plans to incorporate race signups, race results, group communication and more, Skiwise is growing fast and has no plans of slowing down.

Ratings and reviews

As of 2.5.3 the app works without locking-up. The info windows that were being covered are slightly bigger so you can interact with them easier. (They are still a little covered but doesn't take away from easy of functionality) I did still lock-up upon leaving a review, and that won't prevent me from leaving them since that was my objective. So it still has some bugs but it's usable and useful.

Trail report notifications (if you follow a trail) could be more useful. Tapping on them just opens the app and shows me my current location. It would be great if it opened the actual trail and showed you the trail report that generated the notification.

I love that this apps shows me all the ski trails in the area that I am, and that I can look at trail reports, but the base of people that use this app needs to grow because a lot of trails don't have reports, so I've been trying to give some reports.
