Alpinereplay is pretty good. I use the free app and it works well...

Just out of curiosity, what are you expecting from a skiing app?

What do you want it to do for you?

Interestingly, as I was sitting on the gondola today at Gore, I overheard an old guy bragging to his friend about what a great app "Alpine Replay" is, so I was going to install it on my iphone, but completely forget about it. Until now, when I was reminded again by reading your question.

I am not positive about this so forgive me if I am wrong, but the timing of rich's joining the forum and the coincidence of me getting some email from an ski app company makes me think that rich isn't being completely honest with us.

If I'm correct rich is offering a "free" ski app.

Rich...

Do you work for a company that produces a ski app?

If you are offering it to us for free, what is your business model - how does your company benefit? Does it serve advertising?

Again apologies if I am mistaken.  Within moments of both of your posts I got an email from someone named Rich from a ski app company, making me an offer for a free app.

Vail's Epic whatever card records all this type of stuff. Don't know of a universal generic equivalent though....

I use "Coach's Eye" ($4.99) to help teach patrollers to sharpen tele/alpine skills.  Works great.

This might be the first app I pay for.

I just watched a video of a guy using this app to evaluate his technique for an advanced kettlebell exercise. He used slo-mo, freeze and telestrator(!).
This app can make you feel like John Madden.
