For skiers and snowboarders
PISTEBOUND records your day on the snow, names each run and compares it with your best. Share your location with your crew for as long as you choose.
Free on the App Store, for iPhone and Apple Watch.
The phone on this page is the app itself, running live on sample days. Scroll and it follows the story; tap it and try everything yourself.
See how it worksLive app
01The mountain
Satellite imagery of the real resort, every run in its difficulty colour, every lift, and your crew moving across the mountain as it happens. Tap a resort for its vertical, its runs by difficulty and how many of them you have skied.
023D
Tilt the map and the mountain rises in 3D, with every run and lift laid over the real terrain.
03Recording
PISTEBOUND detects runs, lifts, queues and stops automatically while your phone stays locked in your pocket. It pauses and resumes by itself.
04Runs
Each descent is matched to the run you skied, timed from the top and compared with your best on that run. During the run, you can see how far ahead or behind you are.
05Timeline
Every run, lift, queue and break in the order they happened, with the time, the vertical and your top speed. Each descent shows its run. Tap one to see it on the map.
06Every run
Open a run for its time, speed, vertical, gradient and steepest stretch. On a run you have skied before, your best and every earlier lap are one tap away.
07Replay
Play the day back on the map at 60×, 300× or 900×, in 3D if you like, or drag along the chart to any moment of it.
08Share
Share a day on the snow or a single run as a card made for your story, or send the track as a GPX or FIT file.
09Records
Top speed, longest run, biggest day and most runs in a day, each with the date you set it. When you break one, the day you broke it says so.
10Run leaderboards
Turn on Show my times in More and your best time on each run goes on its leaderboard, which also ranks the regulars who ski it most. See everyone or just your crew, for today, this week, this season or all time, on skis or a snowboard. It needs an account and stays off until you turn it on.
11Season
See vertical, days, runs, your best day and run records. Earn badges, make a season poster and share cards for days and runs.
12Crew
Share your location for an hour, a few hours or a whole trip. Sharing stops by itself, and anyone who joins later sees only what you share after they join.
13Settings
58 language versions, metric or imperial units, what you ride, bigger buttons for gloves, each run read out as you finish it, and a battery saver for long days.
Live demo
This is PISTEBOUND itself, running in your browser. Tap through the season, open a day, check your records.
The real app, running in your browser on sample days with a sample crew: test tracks generated along the real runs and lifts of Thredbo, with every figure worked out by the app. Recording needs the phone app.
The demo season
Sample days at Thredbo, worked out by the app itself. The live phone on this page runs on the same days.
Every screen
Tap any phone below and that screen opens in the live app.
The Map
See runs in their difficulty colours, lifts with your usual wait, and each run’s length and gradient. Find a way down at your own pace, spot runs you have not skied, and open mountain restaurants, bars and cafés in Apple Maps, Google Maps or Tripadvisor.
Vertical, named runs, base and summit, and your crew on the map.
How many runs of each colour the resort has, and how many of them you have skied.
Pick one to see it on the map, with your laps and your best time on it.
Tilt the map to see the mountain in three dimensions.
Satellite or trail map, plus lifts, food and drink, toilets, parking and viewpoints.
The resort’s emergency numbers, one tap from its map.
Forecast
The forecast for every resort: temperature, new snow, wind, the freezing level and daylight, with the estimated snow depth at the summit and at the base.
Lifts
PISTEBOUND uses only your own past days to show your usual wait at each lift for that hour. It does not use data from other skiers.
Crew
A crew is a group for your trip: a map of where everyone is, a chat, meetups and a leaderboard of its own. Invite friends with a code or a QR code.
Every crew you are in, who is sharing where they are, and what is new.
Everyone’s position live, the meeting point and the next meetup.
Pick a time, a place and a reminder. Everyone says whether they are coming.
A message with a place in it opens on the map, or takes you straight there.
Big buttons for the things you say on the mountain, easy to press with gloves on.
Skiing, on a lift or stopped, how far away, how fresh the position is and how much battery is left.
Compare vertical, runs and days across the season with everyone in the crew who shares their days.
Messages and new meetups from all your crews, in one list.
Follow an arrow with distance and height difference to find someone in your crew. For someone without the app, send a Find me link that opens in any browser.
Send your position to your crews. The resort’s emergency numbers are on the same screen.
Send a code or show a QR code. It works for a week, and the person who runs the crew can make a new one at any time.
Your season
Days, trips, runs and records build up by themselves, season after season.
See vertical, days and runs across the season.
Every day of the season, sorted by date, vertical or number of runs.
Days close together at one resort become a trip, with its own totals and map.
Your best time on every run, and on your usual ways down: runs you link, timed as one descent.
First tracks, a big day, every difficulty, twenty different runs and more.
Your whole season on one card, ready to send.
Settings
Language, units, your profile, your gear and your data, which you can take with you at any time.
Units, run leaderboards, recording and battery, all on one screen.
Each one with its flag. Or leave it on your phone’s language.
Your name, a photo and the colour your crew sees you in on the map.
Skis, snowboard, telemark, monoski, sitski, splitboard, touring skis, cross-country skis or snowshoes, kept with each day.
Back up everything to one file, restore it, or open every day in a spreadsheet.
Heart rate through the day, heart rate zones, energy and steps from Apple Health, on each day you ski.
On the slope
While you ski, the screen names the run you are on and shows how far ahead of or behind your best you are at that point. At the bottom, it tells you which lift you usually take next and how long you usually wait there at this hour.
Lock Screen
Your live day stays visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Apple Watch
The live card from your ski day also appears in the Smart Stack on Apple Watch.
The watch can record the day by itself, with heart rate and altitude, and sends it to your iPhone when it is nearby.

Record without an account. You only need one for crews, run leaderboards, Find me links and a cloud copy of your days.
Export GPX, FIT, CSV or a full copy of your data.
