Club Membership
Our Club launched in October 2004 to enable UK riders to get more from their snowboarding. Our members save £100s on equipment, holidays and slope time.
Club Bashes are a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and have a laugh on the slopes in the UK and abroad.
In 2015, Action Sports Club launched, providing more discounts across more sports for all members.

Posted 21 June 2010 - 10:43am on Freeski Club UK
I'm getting my first iPhone in a couple of days as I have an iTouch and like it as it does everything I need, but also carry a old phone with me so going to put the two together and get the phone.
Anyway, I have a few but mostly games, underground map, Google stuff, but just wondering what apps people have and find useful.

Some usefull things for travel are
The North face - snow report - its kinda crap but just about works and its free.
Ski: Alps - route maps and GPS tracking - its not so usefull imo - interesting tho i guess.
The Weather Channel - Free, decent and fast weather info
Flight Track - live flight board tracking for all major airlines
Entertainment
Plants Vs Zombies - best game ever !
Need for Speed underground
Tony Hawks 2 - they ruined the soundtrack tho
Touch grind - fun but limited and annoying
Random
iLite - usefull torch app - apparently saved some skiers lives this season, also has a lighter mode for festivals.
Flixster - free movie times and trailers etc.
Mpora - slow but usable mpora portal.
I'll have a look at some of the above.
Remote - Allows you to remotely control your iTunes on a PC or Laptop
Shazam - Tells you the name and artist of songs
TuneIn Radio - which is great if you have a wifi connection. Picks up thousands of internet radio stations
TapFish - totally pointless but entertaining. Don't let young kids near it though or they can run up a huge bill buying digital fish
Go here - http://iphone.tvcatchup.com and you can stream free live TV from loads of TV stations. Works best with wifi or strong 3G connections
There's also an app to set your sky+ box while your out and about
Skype is good for when you get to Canada.
Ragdoll Blast is good fun as is flight control.
Bump is good if you know other people with iPhones so you can share stuff quite easily. Others I use quite a bit:
the trainline
tubemap
whatsapp - again great for when you are in canada...
If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.
There are some good ones on there.
I've got one that tells me what happened on this day in history, which is very interesting.
Crush the Castle - Incredibly addictive
iMapMyRun - Excellent for tracking your runs and how far you go and draws a map of your run. Uploads to a website too.
SleepCycle - Changes how you are woken up in the morning by sensing movements then determines what type of sleep you are in then wakes you up in a light sleep so you dont just spam snooze.
Gorillacam - Better use of the camera.
HA Traffic - Decent traffic updates on all major roads.
Epicurious - Recipie book thats free and is a good way to impress the ladies or fellas with your cooking.
AroundMe - Pretty accurate way to find things like cash machines or petrol stations.

For what purpose? It may not be what you need but put in "map my run" into the app store and get the free version, even if your not a runner it still tracks your journey very well.
