Keeping track of everyone in a group during a trip to the slopes can be tough, but the Snocru app goes above and beyond by allowing users to keep tabs on buddies and offering a plethora of other stellar features.
Snocru works by using a smartphone's built-in GPS capabilities to easily connect with immediate friends in your party and others on the mountain. What's more, the app connects to Facebook and other social networking sites to seamlessly share pictures, updates and stats within ever needing to leave the app.
The Snocru app also has a number of handy features built-in like weather reports that are custom-tailored with the skier in mind; find out how much fresh powder has fallen in the past 24 hours in a specific region or take a look at the live webcams that are placed strategically at skiing hotspots.
