PowDay
PowDay is your ski-day companion for Whistler Blackcomb. Like a good ski buddy, PowDay wakes you at 6:30am when it has snowed enough to make it worthwhile to be on the first chair in the morning.
New Snow Alert
PowDay lets you choose the time and amount of snow needed to wake you up You can select the amount of snow required to make it worth your time to wake at this most uncivil hour:
- 10 cm--its going to be great
- 20 cm--its going to be great
- 30 cm--do you have a pulse?
- 40 cm--dude if you don't move you are obviously not a skier.
Live Lift Status Notifications
PowDay also notifies you of chair openings so you don't have to wait in lift lines. Set the app to notify you to send you a notice as each chair opens, like a best friend standing in line who calls you when loading begins.
Live WebCam and Temperature
In addition to the up-to-the-minute lift status, PowDay also provides temperature information, and even live WebCam images so you'll be able to check the visibility from the top of the Peak chair on those cloudy days.
Après Ski.
If you have a Hairfarmers addiction, PowDay keeps you updated on where they are playing for Après Ski. Other bands and bars too.
