Depending on where you ski (Parts of Austria + Dolomites) RealityMaps has offline capabilities for the subscription version. The free version will let you use the cached data while offline. They use a very good DEM but have only limited winter imagery coverage. Where available, it's (way) better than Fatmap ever was.

I just checked SkiMoMaps and I'm seeing a mix of autumn and winter imagery with a quite shit DEM in the Alps.

A comparison of some nice lines in Pitztal.

SkiMoMaps:
Attachment 508749
RealityMaps (note Airplane Mode, free version)
Attachment 508750

I was playing around with the beta and while the UI is much better (it's a mess now) the cached data thing did not seem to work anymore, so maybe when the new version comes out it's less useful than it is now.

For planning at home in Austria check out also alpinemaps.org. Very high resolution DEM, still working on real snow.

Curious how well the Caltopo 3D visualization works? Appears to be available with the $50/year Pro version.
Asking cuz skimomap's winter imagery (at least for CO) is like early Oct - ie, barely snow.
Thx!

It works for me. I switch between global imagery for more detailed terrain and Sentinel Hub satellite imagery that updates every 3 days. CalTopo user experience is pretty clunky especially on mobile. It has a lot of features on the desktop version for route planning. Another app that I’d recommend that feels better than Outmap or other new fatmap contenders is Footpath. It’s primarily targeted for hiking but it does have a mode for ski touring. The mobile ui is very streamlined. The paid version is only $29.99 and it also comes with Sentinel Hub with frequent updates. Unlike onX whose best features are limited to North America, Footpath appears to have good international coverage. Killian Jornet used it for mapping his Alps traverse. I found out about it by meeting the founder/developer backcountry skiing.

Ok good to know, thx. I'll check out Footpath. The issue with Outmap is there's no desktop version - or at least non-Mac desktop. I could (and have) cast onto a screen, but that gets pretty clunky itself.

Footpath looks very interesting.
