Ski Buddy Plus

Summary: A new kind of ski app.
Ski Buddy is not your typical "ski tracker" app that gives your ski statistics at the end of the day, after the fact. Instead, Ski Buddy gives your ski statistics in real time as you ski by speaking over your earphones. Your speed, altitude, distance traveled, and time of day are spoken at user selected intervals. In addition, a unique "ski mode" gives statistics for each run as it is completed. When you get off the lift at the top and start skiing down, you will hear "Starting new run". Ski Buddy will record your top speed, average speed, distance, vertical, and duration as you ski down the run. When you get on the lift at the bottom and start back up, a run report will automatically be spoken. When you get off the lift at the top again and start back down, the process will repeat. Run statistics are saved as is the track for the run. At any time, you can review the statistics for your runs as well as view the track of the run on a map.
Ski Buddy is truly a new kind of ski app that gives your ski statistics in real time as you ski.
