Ski Adventures 2018-19 1,000,000+ vertical
Having recently received our 2018-19 Epic passes we are totally stoked for the upcoming ski season. If you are a rider you know what the Epic pass means, if not well an Epic Pass gives you unlimited, unrestricted access to 65 ski areas around the world. Now retired and having the mobility and potential to get anywhere, through any weather (4X4 Sprinter) we will be traveling throughout the US and Canada this season in search of the biggest storms and deepest POW.
We will be posting our travels and experiences at the many ski resorts as we move about the country. In the mix will be photos and links to the areas we ski. We will be using technology to track our vertical skied and hopefully some GoPro footage of some of the better runs.

Tool / App
I've received a number of emails inquiring as to what app we are using to record our daily data while out riding. We are using Ski Tracks, an application that can be had through iTunes. We are using it on our iPhone X and find that starting the day with batteries at 100% and device kept warm next to torso that it uses little energy, we end the day with batteries seldom lower than 55%. Note: we make sure no other apps are running in the background. I have posted the data screen from Ski Tracks for my day at Kirkwood.
