AlpineReplay

Rossignol just release done also -- http://www.alpinezone.com/news-and-...it-social-ski-application-for-android-iphone/

No idea if it's any good

Oh no, now I have yet another to investigate.

This is why I tend to be a late adopter of this stuff, I prefer thousands of other guinea pigs do the legwork and then I decide which one or two is likely best!

I tried Phresheez 2 seasons ago and really never got it to work right. Last season I tried alpine replay and it worked pretty well. I have a droid 2. It would grind up the battery pretty good (50% left around lunch)so I used to charge the phone at lunch. I should do a better job with the set up of the app. The data is real interesting.

Love me some ar!!!!

I've been really happy with AR overall. It doesn't drain my battery. Occasionally it will drop parts of my runs and sometimes it shows that I've been skiing in the woods, which I rarely do.

I definitely like the performance of AR. But it shows where I've been skiing in the woods, so I don't like to use the public features of it.

Thanks for the kind words, all!

I was planning to try out AlpineReplay on Friday, but when I got to the slope I forgot to start it. Wish it could be set to notice when I'm at a ski area and do a pop up alert to ask if I want to turn it on.

I have used it for 12 days and think it's great some new features this year.has made skiing man-made groomers due to lack of snow much more interesting.I use it at Mt Snow and am usually in the woods or on natural trails

I don't get how alpine replay calculates airtime. It doesn't work very well either. There have been quite a few times I've gotten air and it didn't record it. There's also been times I haven't gotten air time but it says I did.

I'm guessing it has some sort of algorithm that is supposed to tell if you're in the air based on the arc and trajectory you are traveling? Because there is no way it can tell the base of the snow you're on.

Im pretty sure its not by gps. A few years ago I tried the app and it said my phone wasnt capable of recording jumps/airtime, but everything else worked...

Actully I think it was when I used an old phone last year

The tech in modern day phones is scary. The phone has a accelerometer. It has been many years since physics class, but a object falls at a very specific speed. 9.xx meters per sec is in my head for some reason.
I am guessing when the phone senses that downward speed you are "airborn".

Yep thats what it was, the phone didnt have an accelerometer

Its free. Its not perfect, but I have been quite happy with the "toy". I would enjoy skiing just as much as I do now if I didnt have it running. Its just fun to look back at some data.

i do like it but i'm having trouble with it this year. glitchy. and there is a paid component, on a per month basis. i was hopign to find something with same features and less buggy. i'd also pay (flat fee) if it were really good. i'm using the AR data in my sig this year rather than TRs here.

 

[wakenbacon]

Ive noticed its really buggy when very cold. I think its more the phone than app.

I've used AR and liked it, but it didn't seem worth the subscription version. Using Navionics Ski this season and getting more or less the same info.
