Ski and snowboard app: snow report, lifts, sun, avalanche risk and a safe way down for your resort. Alpha test version. ALPHA TEST VERSION.

What’s new in 0.2.7 Sun page at night: after the last sun of the day, it shows tomorrow’s first sun on each slope. Flow β: the run flow score is now marked as beta, with a short explanation under How we count. Your saved activity: times now follow your watch’s 12 or 24-hour setting. Record screens: your runs total now shows how far you’ve come down, with an arrow. Home screen: “1 more run” now reads correctly and fits on small round screens. New Sensor permission: this is for a test feature that’s switched off. What’s Version 0.2.6 - You choose how the app finds your resort: Garmin weather location, watch GPS or a resort code. Nothing about where you are is sent until you choose. - With a resort code, Get me down, Take me home, Guide to a friend and Next lift ask before using your watch GPS, each time. - Your day is written to the watch as you ski, so a crash or flat battery doesn't lose it. - New one-time questions: save your days online, and share your ski stats to help show lift queues. Both are your choice, and you can change them later. - Linking and unlinking the EM Snow iPhone app is clearer. - German wording fixes. - The fenix 6 and 6S (standard), Forerunner 245, Venu Sq and original Enduro are no longer supported, as they don't have enough memory. Use the free EM Snow Report widget on those. new in 0.2.5 Pause: stop recording for 5, 10 or 15 minutes, or until you resume. Press START to carry on. Settings on the watch: buzzes, run gap, ring goal, Next lift card and GPS mode. Home by: set your last lift time and get a warning when it’s time to head back. You can also save a home spot and get taken there. Marks: your most used marks come first, and Filming is now a single mark. Get Me Down says “Routing...” while it finds a route. The resort name shows in amber when you have picked the resort yourself. What’s new in 0.2.4 New recording screen: a big number, a ring, and clear Run, Lift and Stopped states that update within about 13 s. Buzzes for run and lift starts, finished runs and saves. Choose Full, Quiet or Essentials. Today’s goal (vertical, runs, top speed or lifts) on the ring, with a buzz when you hit it. Season and day records. Marks: BACK marks a spot, press twice to name it. Hold MENU to mark a video clip. “How we count” in the menu. One lap per run, so Garmin Connect counts runs correctly. Instinct 2, Instinct Crossover and Descent G1: these watches have less memory, so they keep the previous screen and get the run and save buzzes and the lap fix. 0.2.3 - Units follow your watch settings: snow in inches, heights in feet, speeds in mph and temperatures in °F if your watch is set that way - Choose what each of the 4 watch-face complications shows (EM Snow 1: Snow IQ, 2: 24h snow, 3: Lifts open, 4: Avalanche by default; others: summit and base snow, today's queue, runs, vertical) - Out of season, a countdown to opening day: "Opens in 54 days" - Clearer lift counts when a resort's live feed covers only some of its lifts ("18 open") - While recording, up/down shows Next lift, your day and the other pages; Back returns; filming shows a red ring - After saving, the Day page confirms "Saved"; days without runs (walks, filming) are sent to the phone too - The freezing level has its own line on the Now screen; the version is on About and in the settings What’s new in 0.2.2 Link phone shows a QR code: scan it with your iPhone camera and the EM Snow app opens and links your watch (the code is still shown if you’d rather type it) Your last 3 recorded days are kept on the watch and sent once you link your phone Press START on the Day screen to start recording A white mark by the START button on screens where START does something Hold MENU while recording to mark when you are filming, to line up your video later Garmin Connect’s “Real time” graph now shows the time of day (10.30 = 10:30) Snow depths are left blank in Garmin Connect when there is no snow report, instead of showi
