Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

| @brownie, Outdooractive has touring, backcountry descents, and pisted runs marked if you toggle ‘winter activities’. Think this may only be with subscription (but worth having as gives topo maps for all the interesting countries…) |
Had a look at Chamonix and there is not much there in terms of tours and nothing for backcountry skiiing. Not sure if it’s because I’ve not subscribed |
We'll be adding routes for the Chamonix region next week. Still working on the avalanche forecasts, a bit tricky but we'll get there eventually.

I was thinking about this thread earlier, and thought back to the Cody Townsend The Fifty project where he was using OnX backcountry.

Has anyone used that? |
It's only available in North America. It seems they plan to keep it that way.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Inboard, ah ok, so probably not much use for an Austrian based skier then!
I downloaded Skida now it's available on android, again, no real use to me currently as it's not covering Austria yet.
I miss you FatMaps  |
Routes for Austria will not be available in Skida before sometime next year, probalby not before the 25/26 season. Maps and avalanche forecasts should be in place by Christmas. |
Thanks, Maps and Avalanche data is probably most important for me, as I've found some local sites that include some routes such as:

Email today from kickstarter that the Skida project reached its funding goal, so hopefully the promises will become reality.

I’ve just joined Strava on the free monthly trial via my iPhone but struggling to see any FatMap style ski routes content. The “Choose a sport” page doesn’t seem to give skiing as an option. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance

@Kentishmole, nothing, they killed fatmap. They just seem to want the 3d maps/flyover kind of thing for looking at completed activities.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Thanks. I feared as much. Really poor.
No one else offering any similar alternative yet I guess?

@Kentishmole, Its not much use for skiing (I use it for cycling). However if you go to map then click on the sport symbol (next to heart rate) you can choose Alpine skiing. This then shows lifts and pistes but also (faintly as less "users") popular off piste routes. I can see this is of no use to folk who used Fatmap but would be useful if you want to record what skiing you have done. None of this makes any sense to me, Strava is a good tool for bike training, even at the level I use it I can see how my fitness has changed (hopefully improved) over a period of time. Why they paid money to buy Fatmap (which had a different function) then shut it down is a complete mystery.

You know it makes sense.

@Kentishmole, read the first few pages, particularly page 2, there's lots of suggestions of apps people are using.
Currently i'm using Outmap, which is ok, but its not as good as Fatmap was.
