Freshy! Ski and Snow Report

Freshy! Ski and Snow Report Review

by on January 17, 2011

Imagine the scenario: you save up for a hundred years to afford to go skiing for seventeen minutes in Switzerland, you buy all the gear, you rock up… and find there’s no snow.

That will teach you for not checking to see if there’s a mountain in Fierschertal – but let’s pretend you actually went somewhere with some white flakes.

The snow conditions at a ski resort can fluctuate wildly, especially in today’s globally-warmed times, and therefore you need to know which peak you want to go up for the optimum conditions.

This application is pretty good for that, offering you very recent data on snow fall for most resorts, including the base amounts and coverage in the last 48 hours, as well as the current snow conditions.

From there you can head on over to Onthesnow.com to see a more detailed look at everything – which is where the application loses all its star ratings from us.

The mobile site simply refuses to open (possibly due to the fact it can’t work out the redirect the main site has put in place to go to a more UK-based version) and thus makes the application seem very basic.

As a source of information it’s OK – it’s just very hard to trust it, and that’s pivotal when you’re trying to work out the best place to go and break your leg.
