How many ski days so far this year

[emmaurice2]

I'm stuck at 4 days. I usually ski twice midweek and one weekend day every week starting in January, but work, weather and family obligations have complicated that norm.
Not to mention my ski budget is almost 1/3 of what it was last year. (Thank you, boiler repair man, grrr)

The Big Zero! I hope to get out at least once or twice before Sugarloaf in March.

Six in at this point. Feb and March are where most of my days will come in. Feb vacation week I'm still working on. Hope to do some slopeside somewhere. Trip to CO in March and the AZ Summit. If the weather turns I may get a chance to chase some storms out there as well.

I'm at 10 which is a little behind last year but not bad considering how winter is just getting started

If you need an application to keep track of your skidays, I'm developing one on Facebook for that. Here you also can follow your friends skidays, add additional information like photos, videos, GPS track etc.



All feedback and suggestions on improvements are very welcomed.

You can find the application here: http://apps.facebook.com/snowlog/

Here's a screenshot:

Terje, what made you build a FB app for that? I would think you are going to have serious competition nowadays with the mobile phone apps (phresheez, alpinereplay, etc.) that automatically track stats for you and record your on mountain days.

Yup, I know that. But I hope there is room for a totally independent application. The other apps might be better for personal use, but not all your friends use the same app and share the information the same place. In Snowlog everyone can write about their ski days. Some just want to log that they skied, and other wants to include more information. Information like GPS tracks etc. from most other applications are supported.

The application is at the moment only available on Facebook, and I've received several questions on that. Well, that's because the Facebook platform provides services like authentication, user administration, friends management, photo/video upload etc. I'm considering developing an alternative entry to the application, but right now I want to use my time on developing the application itself.

Below is another screenshot from the app, here snowdays with GPS tracks from applications on iPhone, Android and Garmin all are marked on the map.
