Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map: A Must-Have App for Utah Hikers and Backcountry Travelers
The Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map is a full version iOS app that provides an index of more than 1,000 backcountry locations in Utah’s Central Wasatch mountains. Developed by Iterum LLC, this app is a digital version of the popular paper map and website WBSkiing.com. With a familiar map-app interface, the app accesses your device’s GPS to display your current location on a high-resolution topo map. The “destination arrow” on the integrated compass points to your desired backcountry ski location with only a few taps.
With this app, you can view photographs and detailed information about the location by opening the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Guide website, which is integrated with the app. The app also displays your current elevation and lat/long and will send your current location via email. Detailed information on more than 200 locations, including skiing difficulty, skinning distance, vertical climb, and parking considerations, can be accessed with just a tap. The app does not require cell service, making it a reliable tool for backcountry travelers.
However, the app does not take into account hazards such as avalanche paths, cliffs, and rock fall when navigating. It is essential to travel safely in the backcountry and use this app as a tool to enhance your experience.
