Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map
Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map is the digital map for skiers and hikers in Utah.
The Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map is the Android version of the popular paper map and website (visit http://WBSkiing.com). As with the other platforms, the Android map includes an index to more than 1,000 backcountry locations in Utah’s Central Wasatch mountains. It is the must-have app for Utah hikers and backcountry travelers. With a familiar map-app interface, the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map accesses your device’s GPS to display your current location on a high-resolution topo map. And with only a few taps, the “destination arrow” on the integrated compass will point to your desired backcountry ski location.The app also displays your current elevation and lat/long, and will send your current location via email. And beginning with version 3.6.0, you can display detailed information on more than 200 of the locations including skiing difficulty, skinning distance, vertical climb, parking considerations, and more.You do not need to have cell service to use this app--you dont even need a contract with a cell service provider. PLEASE: If you encounter a problem with this app, please contact me using the support link (or via http://WBSkiing.com) before leaving a negative review.Version 4.0.0 contains dozens of changes to the base map. Most are minor (e.g., tweaked pin locations, minor changes to location names, etc), but these changes continue to polish the map--this map matches the Fourth Edition of the paper map. It also fixes a problem where the map would appear in landscape mode on high resolution phones when the Display Size was set to Small in the Android settings, and reduces a problem where the map was blurry on some devices.

Deceptive name and description! Only covers a tiny fraction of the Wasatch mountains. Should change the name. Get the CalTopo app. It's free, and can shade any backcountry you want, anywhere!
This app is great for the area it is intended to serve. (The Cottonwoods and surrounding drainages.) I have not had issues with the navigation dot and I use it often while out on tours to confirm location. Accurate in the field and that's all I'm asking it for. Works with the phone in airplane mode as well.
it's nice to have access to runs and names. Fixed landscape issue. Great, useful app
Limited. This app is for a very specific area, and pricey for such a small area. When I tried to use this near Ogden, looking at the Wasatch Mountains, it tells me my location is off map. It does work in portrait, which was mentioned as a problem in other reviews, and the maps are blurry unless zoomed in. Cover the Wasatch front and use a zoom friendly map and this may be good.
best backcountry skiing app for the wasatch.
Disappointing, only works in landscape. Search function doesn't work at all. If you're not zoomed all the way down it's blurry. Even the compass doesn't work. Extremely dissatisfied with this, don't recommend anyone purchase this until it's fixed.
The app on iPhone is awesome but the Android version suuuuucks. The map resolution is terrible unless it is entirely zoomed in. Fix this and the app will be great!
Was amazing on apple. Android version suuuuucks. I'd gladly give uac and other Wasatch supporters all my money if I could, but this app ain't the reason. My major problem is the resolution. It's terrible except when almost entirely zoomed in. Also it lags to load the map when adjusted, which makes no sense because you'd think it's sold offline. Sooo...
Nice map
Good map. I did have to manually give the app permissions. Would be cool if you could pin and save locations. Or I haven't figured out how to save them.
