  • Only Salt Lake-Not Wasatch Backcountry

    Downloaded the app and the closest location was Cottonwood Canyons. Nothing in the south Wasatch mountains near Provo, Springville, Nebo area. Excellent if you backcountry ski Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, except that’s not defined in the app map locations.
  • Must have

    For the central wasatch there is no greater tool. Sometimes worth double checking slope angles as roll overs etc can get lost between the lines
  • Wasatch?

    For that much money it would have been nice to get more of the wasatch mountain range not just the cottonwoods
  • SICK

    SUPER SICK
  • Waste of $$- plz read all the 1 star reviews first

    Without being able to download the guide the app map is completely useless. I wish I had read the other 1 star reviews first. This is the most expensive app I’ve ever downloaded and hands down to the most useless. Deleting.
  • Absolutely necessary for any Wasatch tour

    This app is worth every dime. I always have the paper map in my pack (buy that, too), but to say that I use this app a lot is an understatement. The map and guide are easily the best and most detailed resource available for travel in our mountains.

    It’s a straightforward PDF of the paper map, but that’s all you need. There’s a compass screen that provides heading, location, and elevation, but that’s about it. No fancy trackers or social media connection to bloat the app and drain your battery. Perfection!

    I do wish that the online guide were somehow available for download for situations in which you want to research a new line because of a change in plans but don’t have solid signal. I understand that keeping the guide online allows for easier updating, but it would be nice if offline access could somehow be incorporated. As it is, I just screencap every possible entry along any planned route before we leave home.

    The only other feature I can think of that I MIGHT want is for the option to automatically orient the app to your direction of travel. It lets you do this manually and already has the compass display, so this seems like it might be a simple tweak to connect the two elements. But this is a minor thing, and I don’t think I’ve ever sat on a mountain and really wished it could do this.

  • Good app but misleading title

    This app is convenient for trip planning, but it does not cover the whole wasatch range area where backcountry skiing is popular only the three major canyons in Salt Lake Co. I hope it includes Utah Co. and Ogden area as well.
  • Must have for Wasatch Backcountry

    Really amazing app. Must have if you plan to go into the backcountry. Useful for planning routes, looking at what’s ahead, and reflecting after. Really great app for being prepared and knowing what’s out there. One thing I always do too is screenshot the area I toured and using the drawing feature in my camera roll I try to map out the runs, tours, and areas I stopped. Well worth the money. Have fun and stay safe!

  • disappointed

    For $13, I wish that the app was more than just a map with labels. When you attempt to get information for the different areas, it opens a link in your web browser to their website (which is free to access), which means you have to have service to access that information. For such an expensive app, I really wish that they had built that information into the app. I had such high hopes for this app but regret spending so much money on it.
