School holidays are starting this Saturday, February 8 (for zone B). For others, we will still have to wait a bit. Perhaps you plan to take advantage of this winter break to go to winter sports. The opportunity for us to update ourSpecial “Snow” file.
Let's see together how the iPhone can be useful with a selection of apps and games to takein his down jacket on the slopes or in the station.
Before leaving

To be sure not to hurt yourself, you might as well prepare well. This is precisely what this application offers. A complete training program to get in shape at the foot of the slopes and avoid almost all injuries. Don't take long to get started!
Departure and ski at the station
To make you the more pleasant holiday route, the editorial staff of Iphon.fr worked hard to offer youA special apps file to use on the holiday route.
State of tracks and weather
This is an app that will be most useful for all skiers who would like to reassure themselves about the weather at the top of the station of interest. Ski Webcams allows you to have a visual and weather overview of several thousand places around the world, via webcams. Many ski resorts are notably there. Nothing better to see if the sun shines or under the greyness is to put on the slopes.
On Tracks
Skiinfo Ski & Neige
Here, simplicity is in order, however, the information is particularly complete. Very well rated, the Skiinfo app offers the snow conditions for many stations in France and in the world. In addition, it is possible to consult the comments of those who are already on site.
4Riders Ski
This is an app that seduces by its concept, but also by its cartographic background. AsWe saw it in this article, it offers for many stations (but not all), a map reproduced in 3D, with the slopes and the lifts. It allows you to find your way, but also to follow your tribe. She also indicates the routes to find her friends or family. Very nice achievement, to be tested on site!
Mountain Live
To add a little more fun to the descents, here is the Mountain Live application. In addition to measuring performances, she offers to challenge her friends and to rise to the top of the world ranking by winning badges or by participating in the various tests offered. In short, enough to add a little spice to the ski stay, remaining careful! The APP also keeps up to date with weather conditions, snowfall and the opening of tracks of more than 200 stations.
Slopes
For those who love skiing and want to know everything about their performance, this is an application to have. Slopes can record the speed, the distance traveled, the number of jumps, the time spent in the air ...
Ski Tracks
Not really pretty in its presentation, to say the least, but effective. This application is dedicated to skiing and snowboarding. Like Runtastic, she will memorize the course and calculate: maximum speed, distance traveled, altitude, etc. She also stores the photos taken on the slopes and broadcasts music from the iPhone library. It also offers an extension for the Apple Watch, one of the few to integrate this very practical function on the tracks!
Alps stations
Small and large stations have their own iPhone application. Here are some: the list is not exhaustive, so do not hesitate to type the name of your station on the App Store!
Developed almost on the same model for each station, these specific applications are rich in information: interactive plan of the slopes with opening and closing of the tracks and skills in real time, geolocation on the field, webcams and weather, but also restaurants Altitude, emergency posts and even, because it can always be used, toilets!
It will also be possible to easily find your friends and give them an appointment on the tracks thanks to the “T where?” Functionality. The “MySki” feature will allow you to record your performance during the day (distance traveled, elevation, max speed, etc.). The augmented reality to find out the name of the summits and practical and tourist information is also there.
