See how it worksLive app
01The mountain
Satellite imagery of the real resort, every trail in its difficulty color, every lift, and your crew moving across the mountain as it happens. Tap a resort for its vertical, its trails by difficulty and how many of them you have skied.
023D
Tilt the map and the mountain rises in 3D, with every trail and lift laid over the real terrain.
03Recording
PISTEBOUND detects runs, lifts, lift lines and stops automatically while your phone stays locked in your pocket. It pauses and resumes by itself.
04Runs
Each descent is matched to the trail you skied, timed from the top and compared with your best on that trail. During the run, you can see how far ahead or behind you are.
05Timeline
Every run, lift ride, lift line and break in the order they happened, with the time, the vertical and your top speed. Each run shows its trail. Tap one to see it on the map.
06Every run
Open a run for its time, speed, vertical, pitch and steepest stretch. On a trail 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 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.
10Trail leaderboards
Turn on Show my times in More and your best time on each trail 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 trail 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, imperial or metric 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

Tap any phone below and that screen opens in the live app.
The Map
See trails in their difficulty colors, lifts with your usual wait, and each trail’s length and pitch. Find a way down at your own pace, spot trails you have not skied, and open mountain restaurants, bars and cafés in Apple Maps, Google Maps or Tripadvisor.
Vertical, named trails, base and summit, and your crew on the map.
How many trails of each color 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, restrooms, 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, trails 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 trail, and on your usual ways down: trails you link, timed as one descent.
First tracks, a big day, every difficulty, twenty different trails 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, trail 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 color your crew sees you in on the map.
Skis, snowboard, telemark, monoski, sit-ski, splitboard, touring skis, cross-country skis or snowshoes, kept with each day.

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 trail 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 in line 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.
