Alpine Replay Introduces Trace for snow and all Action Sports

Today Alpine Replay took a big step beyond the phone with the introduction of Trace. Trace is the newest offering from AlpineReplay under ActiveReplay.



Two questions we get all the time are, "How can I make AlpineReplay more accurate and more battery friendly?" and "When are you gonna make something for surfing or skating or wakeboarding?"
The answer? Right now. Trace makes AlpineReplay more accurate, doesn't use your phone's battery, and extends tracking to sports like Skating and Surfing.

Order your Trace now as we change the world of action sports and how your measure and share your experiences.

AlpineReplay - World' Largest Social Network of Skiers and Snowboarders

This post is month's overdue. This past winter we had the opportunity to work with AlpineReplay in introducing their services to the ski and snowsports industry as they roll out many new features in the app Alpine Replay and on their web site.

The many features include being able to take an Instagram photo and embed this into the sessions sheets that show you the summary and detail of your day skiing or riding on the mountain. Here are examples of recent ones posted on Alpine Replay.

This past winter marked the initial full season of Alpine Replay use globally. Clearly the number one app for skiers and riders across the globe. Users have logged billions of vertical feet and days on the mountain at over 1500 resorts across the planet. Currently we have hundreds of thousands of users in North America alone.


This past season saw numerous accolades like being selected as Staff pick by Google in the Android store and a top user rating n the Apple store. New features like the patent pending video feature and Facebook and Twitter integration enables unprecedented user generated content available to resorts and mountain enthusiasts. We will continue to work with Alpine Replay to extend and expand our resort offerings for the 2013.14 season.
