Facebook Needs More Snowboarding Applications!

MAbout this time we made mention of a couple of snowboard-related applications on Facebook. Since then, Facebook applications have obviously taken off in popularity, so we thought maybe it would be time to take another look.

Actually, that’s kind of a lie. I was spurred to do so courtesy of Austin from MyLocalMountain.com, who wrote in to point on a Facebook app he’s developed that connects “snowboarders and skiers based on their local ski resorts, giving them access to ski conditions, reviews, and a map to show off the resorts they’ve been to.” I installed it, and it’s pretty neat – it connects you with other locals, resort reviews, conditions and more. It also turns out that My Local Mountain is one of the most popular ski/snowboard applications on Facebook, especially when you remove any applications from the list that are strictly focused on resort conditions and maps. The downside? There’s less than 40 applications, it seems, dedicated to skiing and snowboarding – and most of them are dedicated to snow conditions or Flash-based games. Surely there’s room for some more innovation in this space. I can think of a few applications I would use:

  • Equipment deals on various gear sites;
  • A “tracker” listing local hill openings and closings every year;
  • Shred videos of the day;
  • Snowboarding tips and tricks.

Maybe these applications already exist? What do you folks use?
