Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map

No data toward Midway/Heber

I can’t figure out what the purpose of this app is. It doesn’t show any BC routes and there are no terrain overlays so it’s useless unless you already know what you’re looking for. If it’s meant for navigation and route planning there are way better apps. I cannot recommend this app at all.

Easy to use and a great resource for local skiers.

Super happy with this app, and we’ll worth the price. GPS location even when out of service is accurate, and the map is easy to navigate. Elevation is also accurate enough. As others have mentioned, it would be nice to be able to access (offline) info for a specific route that you’re doing that day. It would also be interesting to see an overlay of the route you took (or are supposed to take) for certain routes, although the argument could be made that this takes the learning out of route finding and navigation (fair). All in all, I love it! The extra features would be icing on the cake. I appreciate the work that went into this!

I thought this app would show specific routes and give terrain ratings for the the approach difficulty and the descent exposure. From what I can tell it has none of those things. GAIA has basically all the information this app has, but the map layers and global topography that come with GAIA are far more extensive and more helpful. The best thing about the Wasatch backcountry app is that it shows local names for areas so you can converse with other people about a route without necessarily looking at it on the map. Not sure that’s worth the money.

Worth every fraction of a cent. This app is an invaluable resource in the backcountry.

I purchased this app so I could do research and find out avalanche info for an upcoming ski trip to Utah. Since I’m not within GPS range of the map, I can’t access any special features of the app. It looks like I just paid $12.99 for a topo map that I can get on a bunch of other apps or even government websites for free.

A good introductory map to the tourist or someone new to the area. The map highlights the three most popular backcountry skiing canyons in the Northern Wasatch. I would like to see the app updated to be full screen size of newer devices. Another improvement that would make the app more worth its price is including route descriptions directly in the app; allowing that information to be available offline.

I’m sure all the positives were submitted by the developer’s buddies or are fake accounts. Worthless app. It’s a topo of a very limited part of the wasatch.
