As you know, Skitude is going one step further this season. As we already announced in an article at the start of the season, this year our big new feature is Skitude Premium. We’ve been working out what extra features we could offer you to enhance your experience and your days having fun doing snow sports. And it’s not something we take lightly. Your experiences are really important to us and, because of this, we’ve developed new 3D technology that gives you access to information about more than 2,500 ski resorts around the world in 3D.

What’s more, if you track one of your activities on the slopes, you’ll be able to access a host of detailed stats about each slope. You can check the speed you recorded at any point during your track and play back your activities in 3D.

If you like what you’re hearing, we hope you’ll check out every new feature in detail, because there’s plenty of them:

And now, if you’re thinking, if I have to pay for all these features is Skitude not free anymore? Well that’s not the case. With Skitude you’ll find the same features you’ve always had every season without having to pay anything. For anyone like us who’s interested in going a step further, Skitude Premium is the answer, with more features to offer you experiences with no limits and even more fun.

Let’s go!

3D Slope maps

Discover a new way of navigating, and discover all the places of interest at every ski resort you visit. And Skitude Premium offers you interactive, real-time 3D information about more than 2,500 ski resorts all over the world.

How do I open the maps? It’s really easy! Just follow the steps below and you’ll soon see that paper maps are a thing of the past compared to what we’ve got in store you

Open the selected ski resort profile
Select the 3D Map option

Once you’ve opened it you can:

Filter your searches according to your skiing level. Use the filters to select slopes simply according to their colour and difficulty level.
Filter the slopes according to whether they’re open or not.
Check out all the places of interest: Parking, snowpark, freeride areas, restaurants and loads more!

Detailed stats for every run

Skitude Premium lets you take your skiing to the next level. Just as with the free account, the App allows you to track your activity and get stats, such as accumulated gradient, tracked speed and number of runs made. Now, with Skitude Premium your tracks are also divided up into runs, so you get more detailed stats for each run you’ve made.

And that’s not all! For the whole of your track and for each run, you can check out the slopes you’ve skied down to see specific information about each one: difficulty, altitude, distance, time tracked and speed.

How do I access all this information?

Open your Skitude profile and choose the track you want to analyse
You’ll see that the same familiar interface opens, with the difference being that there are more options in the tabulator above the track map
Open the central tab in the tabulator to view your runs listed in order of difficulty

Once opened, you’ll see that the App shows a wealth of data:

RUN DETAIL BY DIFFICULTY: This shows the percentage of runs made with for each colour of slope and allows you to analyse your track level in a very visual way.

MOST SKIED SLOPES: Select “see more” to view all the slopes you’ve skied.

RUN DETAIL: In this section you’ll see the details of every descent made.

Select “see more” to view all your runs
Click on the run you want to analyse
Get information on: distance recorded on each slope, gradient, tracked speed.

Speed Heatmaps

Heatmaps are a really useful way of analysing the speed recorded at each point of your track in a very visual way.

How do they work?

The App records the speed at every point of the track using a colour, according to a colour scale. Higher speeds are shown as warmer colours and lower speeds as cold colours.

To open your general track heatmap, just follow these steps:

Open the track you want to analyse
Select the track map
Click on the tab in the lower right-hand corner

You can also open the heatmaps for each run made. To do this you just:

Go to the dropdown menu with a breakdown of descents (Learn more)
Select the run you want to analyse
Click on the track map
Select the tab in the lower right-hand corner

Playing your tracks back in 3D

One of the great features of Skitude Premium is being able to play your tracks back in 3D. At the end of your day’s skiing, the App will create a 3D video of your track which you can share with the Skitude community and/or on social media.

How to open it:

To open any 3D playback of your tracks:

Select the track you want to analyse in your My Skitude profile
In the tabulator above the track map, select the tab “3D” on the right
The track will play back automatically

How to share your video:

Have you seen a video you like? You can share it in just a few easy clicks:

Select the tab in the lower right-hand corner
You’ll receive a notification telling you that your video is being processed. This will only take a couple of minutes. When it’s done, you’ll receive another notification telling you the video is ready to be shared
Once you receive this notification, select the same tab as before (in the lower right-hand corner) and select where you want to share it

Where it can be used

3D track playback is only available if your activity takes place at a ski resort. So, if you decide to record a track outside the ski resort area, you won’t have access to this feature.

You can find this feature available for all winter sports.

Apple Watch Synchronisation

Last but not least, Skitude Premium also lets you control the GPS Tracker with your Apple Watch. In this way, tracking on the slopes is much easier and all your progress information is available on your own wrist. What’s more, you save your iPhone battery and don’t have to carry it around with you. All the information is automatically synchronised with your account.

App Features

Without having to use your mobile, select the activity you want to track and control it using your watch.

With the Apple watch App you can:

Select the activity you’re going to record
Play, pause or completely stop your track
Get real-time track information like: time, distance or speed

When you finish your track, all the information will be saved in your My Skitude profile. You can open all the other features with your fully charged mobile. Cool, isn’t it?

How do I synchronise my watch?

To synchronise your watch and your mobile, follow these steps:

Open your My Skitude profile
Go to the settings tab that you’ll find to the right of your profile picture
Select App settings
If you have Skitude Premium, you’ll see a tick on the right in the Apple Watch section. Click to open the menu
Open the Skitude App on your watch and select settings (on your mobile) to synchronise your Apple watch for the first time. B: This step can only be done with the two devices together and open at the same time.
Once linked, you’ll see a “ready” tab appear on your mobile. Select the tab to complete the synchronisation.
When you quit the menu, your Apple watch should be completely synchronised. To open the other features, you’ll no longer need to open them on your mobile. Track, compete and win prizes, whilst saving your phone battery at the same time;)
