iphone app to help skiiers

By Simon Monk

Travel insurance is a must when going skiing, just in case a disaster strikes.

And now the Ski Club Snow Report iPhone app is an added piece of protection, keeping you up to speed with the snow conditions in the mountains.

The free app includes live snow report information from 252 resorts including snow depths, on and off piste conditions as well as webcams and the latest ski and snowboarding news.

Lucy Jennings, Ski Club's new media manager said: "This cutting edge service will be invaluable to iPhone users who are passionate about snowsports.

"It is so quick and easy to use and we are delighted to be working with our partner Land Rover to provide the best snow information possible. If you are a skier or snowboarder, it will keep you informed of snow conditions throughout the Alps and North America this winter."

The Ski Club's iphone app, which launched last season, has received over 79,500 downloads and featured in the Top 20 iPhone downloads.

The iPhone app is FREE and can be downloaded at itunes.com/app/skiclubsnowreports.
