It’s usually pretty obvious from the first moment you start up an app whether or not it has been designed with an eye on quality, and you can immediately see that this has been the case with REI Snow Report.

Everything from the great level of detail to the wonderful visual interface clearly demonstrates that this app has been designed by a developer who really knows their stuff, both in the world of apps and the world of snowboarding.

When you begin using REI Snow Report for the first time you’ll notice that Whistler / Blackcomb is set as the default location. If you tap the Add Resort button you can begin adding in your own locations to find the information you’re looking for.

This can be achieved by either searching manually for the resorts you’re interested in, or by using your device’s integrated GPS in order to locate resorts near to your current location.

Once you’ve found the resort you’re looking for, you’ll be treated to a whole host of information such as high and low temperatures, depth of snow at the base of the mountain, and even a basic weather forecast covering the coming five days.
