Apple Watch while skiing and snowboarding? What are the strengths and weaknesses? Who is it worth it for? I have put together the most important information for you.

I leave the lift, stand at the top of the mountain and enjoy the incredible view. It reaches a hundred kilometers on this wonderfully sunny snowy day. I prepare to leave, get ready to throw myself down the slope - and pause for a moment. I briefly take off my right glove and start on the Apple Watch tracking the departure. That the Apple Watch in cold winter is suitable – I have already written about this in detail before.

Ski tracking possible in different ways

Because you can on yours Apple Watch Record your skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing workouts in several ways - for example with the internal training app, which offers special programs for skiing and cross-country skiing. Snowboarding also has its own program.

There are also some third-party apps that make a good impression to me and can be used to track the slopes in order to get the most accurate picture of the skiing experience possible - be it as a souvenir for home or for ambitious athletes who want to throw themselves down the slopes .

Apple Watch down the slope

And so I throw myself into it Apple Watch – in my case with the Apple Watch Incredibly , but it works equally well with any other newer one Apple Watch – down the slope. At least I do so based on my skills, which correspond to those of a beginner skier. And on my watch I can see what I'm doing: the distance I've covered, the altitude - and what I also find particularly interesting: the speed at which I'm speeding down the slopes.

I'm someone who likes to track my workouts to have the most accurate picture possible of my heart rate, activity calories burned, and distance traveled. Added to this is the practical use of fall detection for some Apple Watch models. I use that Apple Watch Ultra when diving as a diving computer and at Trail Running. If you are an athlete and like skiing, I can only recommend using the smartwatch while skiing.

Apple Watch Ski & snowboard apps – which one should I use?

The question of the right app for you Apple Watch when skiing is not an easy question to answer. With a whole range of useful skiing apps you can Apple Watch and iPhone use to make skiing even more enjoyable. There are also apps you can use on your iPhone or iPad to keep an eye on the weather and snow levels.

Tracking skiing activities is of course basically the same as tracking other sports Stand Up Paddling or Run very similar. However, specialized apps usually give you a certain advantage over general sports apps. The most important Apple Watch Apps for skiers at a glance:

• Slope's app
• bergfex / ski
• Skiing - ski tracks
• Ski tracks
• iSki
• Skiline
• snoww

You have the choice between a simple version. This would mean that you simply record your ski or snowboard workout using the training app. This is as simple as it gets. For many users who don't have any special requirements, this should be the version of choice.

Slopes app and Bergfex app for more demanding users

On the other hand, if you have higher demands and want to get more information while skiing, I would recommend the Slope's app on Apple Watch because it gives you a lot more setting options. During my research, I noticed this app in particular - and that's why I started using it for my ski workouts.

At the same time you can on the iPhone and iPad bergfex app Use it to get background information and weather for your ski area. This seems to me to be the most useful combination for anyone who wants more information about their activity.

If you already use a universal training app for your workouts

If you already use a universal training app for all your workouts, where you collect all your fitness activities, so to speak, I would recommend that you also use it to record your skiing activities. For example, I used Runtastic – now known as Adidas Running – for all my workouts for many years and collected my workouts there for clarity.

I now have my overview in the fitness app Apple, so it's not that important to me anymore. But if you collect all your workouts in one app, I would recommend using this universal app while skiing too.

Apple Watch Ultra while skiing – going on an adventure with the outdoor smartwatch?

Basically you can use any reasonably current one Apple Watch use for skiing. However, I can tell you from my own experience Apple Watch Ultra recommend. With its robust titanium housing, the outdoor smartwatch is perfect for workouts while skiing. In combination with a robust Alpine Loop or Trail Loop, you can ideally use the smartwatch in the snow and while skiing.

However, I would strongly recommend not your expensive one Apple Watch Use leather bracelet or metal bracelet. The water from the snow and the sweat from skiing can attack and potentially damage your bracelet. That's why I would strongly recommend you for yours Apple Watch Ultra one of the robust bracelets such as the Alpine Loop, the Trail Loop or even the Ocean Loop could be used.
