Quick comparison table

This comparison is based on app listings and publisher information, not hands-on testing.

1. Slopes: Ski & Snowboard

Best for: skiers and snowboarders who want a full day recorded on interactive maps.

Slopes: Ski & Snowboard records your day on maps and works on both iOS and Android. Its standout feature is Siri voice command support, which comes with Apple Health integration on iOS.

Those extras are iOS-only, so Android users get less out of it.

2. Ski Tracks

Best for: people who want run and stat tracking that goes easy on the battery.

Ski Tracks records your runs and stats on iOS and Android. Its standout feature is wearable support, including Apple Watch and Android wearables.

The battery claims come from the app's listing, not from our testing.

3. Strava

Best for: people who already use Strava and want skiing in the same feed.

Strava is a general fitness tracker with a familiar layout, basic ski stats, and support for iOS, Android, and watches. The appeal is an interface you already know, with your existing activity history all in one place.

Keep in mind that the ski stats are basic compared with ski-specific apps.

4. We Ski & Snowboard

Best for: groups, families, and friends who want to see each other on the mountain.

We Ski & Snowboard tracks the locations of friends and family. It covers skiing and snowboarding on iOS and Android. Its standout feature is on-mountain location sharing.

Ski Magazine praised its battery life.

5. Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast

Best for: iPhone users who want run tracking and a snow forecast in one app.

Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast tracks your runs, shows your stats, and checks the forecast. Its standout feature is background tracking while you ski, so your phone can stay in your pocket.

It is iOS-only.

6. OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report

Best for: trip planning and checking conditions before you go, rather than tracking runs.

OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report offers snow reports, resort comparisons, and the SkiGPT assistant on iOS. SkiGPT is the standout, with real-time snow info and trip-planning help.

The supplied listing text is cut off, so we can't confirm any run-tracking features.
