Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map Positive Reviews

Absolutely necessary for any Wasatch tourThis app is worth every dime. I always have the paper map in my pack (buy that, too), but to say that I use this app a lot is an understatement. The map and guide are easily the best and most detailed resource available for travel in our mountains. It’s a straightforward PDF of the paper map, but that’s all you need. There’s a compass screen that provides heading, location, and elevation, but that’s about it. No fancy trackers or social media connection to bloat the app and drain your battery. Perfection! I do wish that the online guide were somehow available for download for situations in which you want to research a new line because of a change in plans but don’t have solid signal. I understand that keeping the guide online allows for easier updating, but it would be nice if offline access could somehow be incorporated. As it is, I just screencap every possible entry along any planned route before we leave home. The only other feature I can think of that I MIGHT want is for the option to automatically orient the app to your direction of travel. It lets you do this manually and already has the compass display, so this seems like it might be a simple tweak to connect the two elements. But this is a minor thing, and I don’t think I’ve ever sat on a mountain and really wished it could do this..Christofer WilliamsVersion: 3.5.0

A Wasatch essentialSuper 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!.Abcxyz1138910Version: 3.5.0

Don’t tour in the wasatch without this app!I use this app to plan if not to navigate on every tour I go on in the Wasatch. It’s simple to use, accurate, and helps me and my ski partners make good decisions in the Backcountry when exploring new or unfamiliar terrain. It’s well worth the money and should go side by side the UAC app if you’re planning on touring the wasatch area. Less complicated than Gaia, but with enough extras to be a powerful tool in your pocket when you’re on the skin track. Pro tip: You can use it while your phone is in airplane mode ;).@dirkbadenhorstVersion: 3.5.0

Must have for Wasatch BackcountryReally amazing app. Must have if you plan to go into the backcountry. Useful for planning routes, looking at what’s ahead, and reflecting after. Really great app for being prepared and knowing what’s out there. One thing I always do too is screenshot the area I toured and using the drawing feature in my camera roll I try to map out the runs, tours, and areas I stopped. Well worth the money. Have fun and stay safe!.IamthejugganautbbVersion: 3.5.0

Very usefulA friend convinced me to buy this app. I'm happy that I did. It is very useful for route finding especially in places that I am not familiar with. Some of the names on certain lines seem different than what I've heard in the past but not a big deal. Could be helpful in a rescue situation by sending a screenshot of your location (assuming you have service)..Neb ClevlandstarVersion: 3.0.1

See map, names and position even without a signal.This app is very well done. Significant research went into this. This is most obvious from the free desktop app which is also worth checking out. If you want a great, searchable map of the Wasatch that will show your location even when Google can't, this is the app to get..BigCorniceVersion: 3.0.1

Great, changed the face of skiing hereKnowing what the heck the Avy Report was talking about was a breakthrough when this came out. They still manage to name drop obscure places not on the map though- so updating more names would be great. Would also be nice to expand coverage of the map further south to Timpanogos and Provo areas..SlcmikeVersion: 3.5.0

FantasticGreat app for skiing Wasatch backcountry. For those moaning about the fact it does not contain every skin track, trail name, switchback and first descent party I say create your own app and ski more to learn about those things. Not everything is served to you on a silver platter; try exploring a little bit instead of complaining..764799Version: 3.5.0

Pricey, but worth it.I have used this app more times than I can count while touring. The interface is super simple to use, and you don't need a internet connection to use the map. Whether you are skiing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling, you need this app if you are in the Wasatch backcountry..SargeMcLargeVersion: 3.0.1

Use it every timeI use this app every time I go in the backcountry, whether it's to find the name of a chute on the side of LCC as we're driving up, or to find how far I am from my current objective. It's worth the price if you frequent the Wasatch backcountry.Outdoor_womanVersion: 3.0.1

Must haveFor the central wasatch there is no greater tool. Sometimes worth double checking slope angles as roll overs etc can get lost between the lines.CallmeJohnWayneVersion: 3.5.0

Update to stop crashingThere needs to be an update, this app keeps crashing every time I try to open it. Phone has been restarted and still having this problem..No auto payVersion: 3.5.0

10 out 5 starsIf you backcountry,sidecountry,cross country, or downhill ski in in the Wasatch, this app is soooo worth the $$. I even use it hiking! Indispensable knowledge and access to a common language in this mountain range..Utahnurse33Version: 3.5.0

So sickI use this app to get pitted. But also to stay safe. Slaying gnar and surviving to slay hot and readys from Little Caesars is the name of the game, and this app helps you win. That and avalanche certification..GI GilVersion: 3.5.0

Great App!I use this app all the time, and I know this range pretty well. It is a crucial tool if you spend any time touring in the central Wasatch!.G_cubedVersion: 3.5.0

Good for WasatchI really like the interaction and easy to find slide info (names of areas). I wish it covered more of Northern Utah, but great for what it is..Jon ShaftVersion: 3.5.0

Worth the money.I use it every time I'm in the Wasatch. Wish they would expand to northern Wasatch..Sierra30987Version: 3.0.1

Fantastic ToolWorth every fraction of a cent. This app is an invaluable resource in the backcountry..PCMasterRace5EvarVersion: 3.5.0

Good app but misleading titleThis app is convenient for trip planning, but it does not cover the whole wasatch range area where backcountry skiing is popular only the three major canyons in Salt Lake Co. I hope it includes Utah Co. and Ogden area as well..YaozyVersion: 3.5.0

Awesome resource!Easy to use and a great resource for local skiers..EricatingeyVersion: 3.5.0

Amazing!An essential tool for our wonderful backcountry! Very detailed..ChocolatemeVersion: 3.0.1

Excellent ToolI've been using Steve's map for a couple of years in the Wasatch backcountry, then some friends and my fiancé mentioned I should check out the app version. This is a must purchase, being able to locate yourself or determine waypoints is phenomenal, and sales benefit the Utah avalanche center so it keeps on benefiting all backcountry users. Nice work Steve..NitishbrickVersion: 2.0.0

Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map Negative Reviews

It’s an expensive topo mapNot sure why all these 5 star reviews rave about this app. First of all, “Wasatch” is misleading - it’s a topo map that covers Millcreek, BCC and LCC. Nowhere near everything in the Wasatch. Second, it’s just a topo map with the names of popular touring areas on it. The map labels are not linked to any real information. You have to search the route name, then it takes you to the external website for any info which is al free and doesn’t require the app. The app is useful as the topo map is handy for when you’re out touring, but for the price there should be waaaaaaaay more here. It should at least have a browsable database, clickable links on the map, and the locations of popular skin tracks..SD Guy27Version: 3.5.0

Just get a good topo app like GAIAI 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..TKempSDVersion: 3.5.0

Poor valueAll of the reviews raving about this app must come from people who know nothing about navigation. This app is a complete waste of money and I’m deleted it 90 seconds after opening it. If you need to know local names for each individual face this might be of some use to you (but so is a book). Otherwise, all of the information provided here can be acquired for free and better. Use Avenza PDF maps and you can have USGS topos or a topo on a sat image. All of the ski-specific information is available for free online; take a screen shot of that before you go..SingersmithVersion: 3.5.0

DisappointedFor $13, I wish that the app was more than just a map with labels. When you attempt to get information for the different areas, it opens a link in your web browser to their website (which is free to access), which means you have to have service to access that information. For such an expensive app, I really wish that they had built that information into the app. I had such high hopes for this app but regret spending so much money on it..Skiskiskiski1Version: 3.5.0

IntroA 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..Willy DernessVersion: 3.5.0

Not worth $5This app isn't much more than a geo referenced Topo map. A very confined topo map of the central Wasatch. It does not show approach routes or descent lines. It has a searchable database of route names but not browsable. You'd have to know the name of the route ahead of time. And if you knew that, you probably have coordinates, pictures, route sketches etc. Save your money and find a free app that has a bigger map..Plenty of bugsVersion: 3.0.1

No idea what this app doesI 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..Son_of_draperVersion: 3.5.0

Waste of $$- plz read all the 1 star reviews firstWithout being able to download the guide the app map is completely useless. I wish I had read the other 1 star reviews first. This is the most expensive app I’ve ever downloaded and hands down to the most useless. Deleting..ElgraboVersion: 3.5.0

Don’t buyNothing works, I’m always outside the map areas, doesn't show any info that they claim. I wasted my money on this for a pic of a map I could have screenshotted off a website..Pnasty0616Version: 3.5.0

Fake reviews?Tons of positive reviews but the app is more or less useless. You can see the names of areas but literally nothing else. Trust the one star reviews, they’ve explained it all perfectly..Chaseiswritingareview12344568Version: 3.5.0

So lameI’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..UTonthehillVersion: 3.5.0

Only Salt Lake-Not Wasatch BackcountryDownloaded the app and the closest location was Cottonwood Canyons. Nothing in the south Wasatch mountains near Provo, Springville, Nebo area. Excellent if you backcountry ski Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, except that’s not defined in the app map locations..MichelleburchVersion: 3.5.0

Wasatch?For that much money it would have been nice to get more of the wasatch mountain range not just the cottonwoods.ColfaxVersion: 3.5.0

UselessApp is just a topo map with route names and minimal navigation capabilities. Complete ripoff, would not recommend to anyone..Themonster101Version: 3.5.0
