The Apple Watch Series 3 now tracks skiing and snowboarding activity!
Skiers, rejoice! Today Apple announced that Apple Watch Series 3 wearers
will have the ability to track detailed information about both
snowboarding and skiing runs. Due to an Apple Watch update that combines
GPS and altimeter (altitude) measuring, ski apps such as Slopes
are now able to quantify performance. Users can record runs, see
average and maximum speeds, see vertical descent and horizontal
distance, plus other stats, and contribute active calorie measurements
directly to the Apple Watch Activity app. Slopes also works for
snowboarders and shows you a map of your journey.
The app is free, but users can upgrade to “Season Pass” for $19.99 per year and receive terrain and satellite maps and more.
