What's New in Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map

5.0.0

July 10, 2026

Everything you love about Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map, now dramatically better. Version 5.0.0 is a ground-up redesign built for modern iOS: a sharper, more detailed map, faster and more reliable navigation, smarter search, and a cleaner waypoint experience that makes marking and finding spots effortless. Every screen has been rebuilt to be more responsive and intuitive, with enhanced iPad support that takes full advantage of the bigger display. The contour lines and slope shading in version 5.0.0 are based on high-resolution LIDAR data, increasing the detail of the contour lines and relief shading dramatically. Improved accuracy of the "30-degree slope shading" makes understanding terrain easier than ever. Version 5.0.0 also added more than 50 waypoint names and improves the location data on hundreds of waypoints.

Not the full Wasatch front

Limited map to big cottonwood canyon areas… it acted like it was the Wasatch front so I thought it would include skyline , and other backcountry areas…. It doesn’t seem to be interactive either to show current conditions

Essential tool for any Wasatch backcountry rider

If you ride down snow in the backcountry in the Wasatch, this tool is a must.
Just another ScottJust another Scott

I use it constantly

Great UI, simple, I think the shading for avalanche areas is a bit permissive though - just because it’s not shaded does not mean you are safe.
Worth the purchase.

Best Wasatch BC map, needs new contour detail map and a couple other updates.

I love how clear and easy this map is to use. I can easily take a screenshot of the map and then mark it up to send to my skiing partners. I bought the new paper map and really appreciate the higher resolution of the contour data and I wish this app had that detail. Search works well for finding locations. The iPad version doesn’t fill the entire display, not a huge deal but would be a nice fix to give me more map on my display. I kind of like the old school aesthetic of the app but it would be nice if it had some functional updates.

FAQ

What does the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map app do?

This app provides a detailed map of over 1,000 backcountry locations in Utah's Central Wasatch mountains. It uses your device's GPS to show your current location on a high-resolution topo map and features a compass with a destination arrow to guide you to ski spots.

What kind of information can I find for each location?

For hundreds of locations, you can access detailed information including skiing difficulty, skinning distance, vertical climb, and parking considerations. Some locations also link to the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Guide website for photographs and more in-depth details.

Do I need cell service to use this app?

No, you do not need cell service to use this app. It functions without a cell signal or even a contract with a cell service provider, making it suitable for remote backcountry use.

Is this app compatible with my device?

The application is specifically mentioned as an iOS version. While the description doesn't detail specific iOS versions, it is designed for Apple mobile devices.

What are the safety considerations when using the destination arrow?

The "destination arrow" points directly to your chosen location without accounting for potential hazards like avalanche paths, cliffs, or rock fall. It is the user's responsibility to ensure safe travel in the backcountry and to be aware of their surroundings.
