Apple Watch Can Now Track Detailed Ski And Snowboard Activity

New app updates for the Apple Watch Series 3 will now let users track a number of detailed ski and snowboard metrics, including total vertical descent traveled and number of runs, while keeping track of their friends’ live locations on the mountain.

Updates to the snoww, Slopes, Squaw Alpine, Snocru and Ski Tracks apps have incorporated data from the watch’s built-in GPS and altimeter to add new features.

By glancing at their wrists, users can access information about total vertical and horizontal distance, number of runs, average and maximum speeds, total time spent in activity and calories burned.
