About
Ski Tracks is a feature-rich ski and snowboard tracking companion used by millions of winter sports enthusiasts around the world. The app is engineered for reliability on the mountain: it runs in offline mode with minimal battery drain, continues recording even when the screen is off, and resumes instantly when you return to the slopes. Every session captures a comprehensive set of performance metrics — including top speed, total distance, vertical descent, number of runs, active time, altitude profiles, and average and maximum gradients. A clean, glanceable interface surfaces these stats both during and after your session, making it easy to review your day at a glance or deep-dive into trends across an entire season. The app includes detailed interactive maps showing lifts, slopes, and real-time conditions, helping you plan your next route or explore unfamiliar terrain. After your session, you can compare your stats against personal bests, share highlights via a link, or export data to Apple Health on iOS. Additional tools let you trim the start or end of any recorded track, review historical sessions, and visualize your long-term progress over multiple seasons. Whether you're a casual skier looking to relive your day or a performance-focused rider tracking improvement, Ski Tracks delivers the data you need in a simple, polished package.
