Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map

Everything you love about Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map, now dramatically better. Version 5.0.0 is a ground-up redesign built for modern iOS: a sharper, more detailed map, faster and more reliable navigation, smarter search, and a cleaner waypoint experience that makes marking and finding spots effortless. Every screen has been rebuilt to be more responsive and intuitive, with enhanced iPad support that takes full advantage of the bigger display. The contour lines and slope shading in version 5.0.0 are based on high-resolution LIDAR data, increasing the detail of the contour lines and relief shading dramatically. Improved accuracy of the "30-degree slope shading" makes understanding terrain easier than ever. Version 5.0.0 also added more than 50 waypoint names and improves the location data on hundreds of waypoints.

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. Version 3.5.0 is now linked to the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Guide. After selecting any of the hundreds of linked-locations in the app and tapping on the "Tap here for more ..." box, photographs and detailed information about the location such as skiing difficulty, skinning distance, vertical climb, altitude, aspect, and slope angle will be displayed in Safari (see screenshot). You can tap on the "WBSkiing" text in the top-left corner of Safari to return to the app. Version 3.5.0 also has a new base-map with dozens of additions and improvements. As always, it's a free upgrade.
