SnowBuddies, has the warmth of the idea behind the proposal, plus that little bit of humour that Brits respond to

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

Yes, Ski Companions has it. I was about to suggest it and then found someone had already.

I went with the name SnowBuddy when I knocked up a web-app a few years back. Could be useful for you so people can do it from their phones?

"Ski Companions" - sounds like those little old ladies who used to hang around with those insane dragons on the Grand Tour in Edwardian times
or
"Snow Buddies" - too american and sounds like a dating agency
or
"Abstain (Any body skiing today alone in need)" - that should put off the drinkers ... and those in AA ... and any one thinking of hooking up. Sounds like a Christian 'no-sex' drive on the snow (all white and virginal) - "I'm saving myself for carving and powder - hands off!"
Got to be 'William's Snow Mates' - if they are intelligent enough to get it then they'll lap it up otherwise it's just a name.
Mr Marmot, glad to hear it.
If it has to be one of three: 'Snow Buddies' - for the pun alone.

You know it makes sense.

Thanks Hells Bells,
As a subscriber to the notion that

, I sometimes find myself alone in places where it would be rude not to do some off-piste.
This app was my attempt to mitigate the dangers
I spoke to Graham about integrating it with Snowheads but there are much more useful things to be done.
I might do an Android app along the same sort of lines....

Out of the 3, Snow Buddies.
Billy Snow Mates is the best, though.

warrell,
If you are going to expand on that app then I would link in the positonal powers of the phones so that people can track each other. If you can find a way to give limited access to other app users and an on/off switch inside the app then I think you are on to a winner. App purchaser sets up a user profile and skis around. If the app spots another 'app live' skier within set parameters then it can give an alert to both parties otherwise you could have an option to e-mail/message to suggest a meet up. Could also have a general transmit to other app users in the resort via SMS suggesting a meet up spot daily a la Warren's idea.
