Quotes

“Satski has been a huge success with skiers and riders across Europe since it was launched in 2007. We’ve spent the last few months ramping up our North American resort coverage, bringing our total to about 75.

Everyday we get emails from people telling us about their success tracking their day at ski areas all over the world – they’re excited to see their day’s stats, and see their Google Earth replays on their computer back home, often for the first time.

So we thought, ‘Hey, let’s get some of those skiers and riders out there to send us their [Google Earth] files’. That way we can check out Satski’s performance on the various phones at the 75 resorts we cover across North America, and give away some great prizes. It’s super easy to do, you send the Google file straight from your phone at the end of the day. We’ll throw the replays up on our website so people can check out the results.”

Cory Leis, spokesperson for SatsportsNA

“Smart phones are great devices to run Satski because they give you extra features, like the ability to share your day via Facebook ,Twitter and email, but the dedicated GPS still has some advantages that appeal to many users. The Multi-Sport unit has stronger GPS for more accurate results, long battery life and is extremely durable, not to mention the fact that it’s already loaded with all our sports apps.”
