A useful ski map goes beyond drawing a coloured line. SkiMap lets you select runs and lifts, look up their details and save favourites for later.

Search pistes and lifts by name

Go straight to the run you want to explore or the lift where your friends are meeting.

See distance, vertical and difficulty

Open a run for its available measurements and elevation profile. Compare the descent’s length and vertical drop before heading over.

Keep your favourites close

Save a run or lift so you can return to it without searching again.

Save your resort or mountain area in SkiMap before the trip. Your downloaded map stays available when reception drops, so you can keep checking the pistes and lifts around you.

Finish the download before leaving your connection. Then open the saved area with Wi-Fi and mobile data off to check it is ready.

• Download a ski map for offline use ↗

Start a recording and SkiMap automatically tracks your runs and lifts. Review your speed, distance and vertical, then keep the session in your ski history. You get the record of the day alongside the map you used to ski it.

With friends? Create a group and share its invitation code. Shared positions appear on the map while connected, so meeting up starts with a location instead of a string of messages.
