Description
The Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map is the iOS version of the popular paper map and website (visit WBSkiing.com). As with the other platforms, the iOS map includes an index to more than 1,000 backcountry locations in Utah’s Central Wasatch mountains. It is the must-have app for Utah hikers and backcountry travelers.
With a familiar map-app interface, the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Map accesses your device’s GPS to display your current location on a high-resolution topo map. And with only a few taps, the “destination arrow” on the integrated compass will point to your desired backcountry ski location.
And with a single tap, hundreds of the locations will open the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Guide website where you can view photographs and detailed information about the location.
The app also displays your current elevation and lat/long, and will send your current location via email. And with a tap, you can display detailed information on more than 200 of the locations including skiing difficulty, skinning distance, vertical climb, parking considerations, and more.
(Contrary to a posted review, you don't need cell service to use this app--you don't even need a contract with a cell service provider.)
NOTICES: When navigating, the “destination arrow” points directly to the destination without regard to hazards such as avalanche paths, cliffs, and rock fall. It is your responsibility to travel in the backcountry safely.

Christofer Williams,
Absolutely necessary for any Wasatch tour
This app is worth every dime. I always have the paper map in my pack (buy that, too), but to say that I use this app a lot is an understatement. The map and guide are easily the best and most detailed resource available for travel in our mountains.
It’s a straightforward PDF of the paper map, but that’s all you need. There’s a compass screen that provides heading, location, and elevation, but that’s about it. No fancy trackers or social media connection to bloat the app and drain your battery. Perfection!
I do wish that the online guide were somehow available for download for situations in which you want to research a new line because of a change in plans but don’t have solid signal. I understand that keeping the guide online allows for easier updating, but it would be nice if offline access could somehow be incorporated. As it is, I just screencap every possible entry along any planned route before we leave home.
The only other feature I can think of that I MIGHT want is for the option to automatically orient the app to your direction of travel. It lets you do this manually and already has the compass display, so this seems like it might be a simple tweak to connect the two elements. But this is a minor thing, and I don’t think I’ve ever sat on a mountain and really wished it could do this.

A Wasatch essential
Super happy with this app, and we’ll worth the price. GPS location even when out of service is accurate, and the map is easy to navigate. Elevation is also accurate enough. As others have mentioned, it would be nice to be able to access (offline) info for a specific route that you’re doing that day. It would also be interesting to see an overlay of the route you took (or are supposed to take) for certain routes, although the argument could be made that this takes the learning out of route finding and navigation (fair). All in all, I love it! The extra features would be icing on the cake. I appreciate the work that went into this!
@dirkbadenhorst,
Don’t tour in the wasatch without this app!
I use this app to plan if not to navigate on every tour I go on in the Wasatch. It’s simple to use, accurate, and helps me and my ski partners make good decisions in the Backcountry when exploring new or unfamiliar terrain. It’s well worth the money and should go side by side the UAC app if you’re planning on touring the wasatch area. Less complicated than Gaia, but with enough extras to be a powerful tool in your pocket when you’re on the skin track. Pro tip: You can use it while your phone is in airplane mode ;)
iamthejugganautbb,
Must have for Wasatch Backcountry
Really amazing app. Must have if you plan to go into the backcountry. Useful for planning routes, looking at what’s ahead, and reflecting after. Really great app for being prepared and knowing what’s out there. One thing I always do too is screenshot the area I toured and using the drawing feature in my camera roll I try to map out the runs, tours, and areas I stopped. Well worth the money. Have fun and stay safe!
SD Guy27,
It’s an expensive topo map
Not sure why all these 5 star reviews rave about this app. First of all, “Wasatch” is misleading - it’s a topo map that covers Millcreek, BCC and LCC. Nowhere near everything in the Wasatch. Second, it’s just a topo map with the names of popular touring areas on it. The map labels are not linked to any real information. You have to search the route name, then it takes you to the external website for any info which is al free and doesn’t require the app. The app is useful as the topo map is handy for when you’re out touring, but for the price there should be waaaaaaaay more here. It should at least have a browsable database, clickable links on the map, and the locations of popular skin tracks.
Neb Clevlandstar,
Very useful
A friend convinced me to buy this app. I'm happy that I did. It is very useful for route finding especially in places that I am not familiar with. Some of the names on certain lines seem different than what I've heard in the past but not a big deal. Could be helpful in a rescue situation by sending a screenshot of your location (assuming you have service).
TKempSD,
Just get a good topo app like GAIA
I thought this app would show specific routes and give terrain ratings for the the approach difficulty and the descent exposure. From what I can tell it has none of those things.
GAIA has basically all the information this app has, but the map layers and global topography that come with GAIA are far more extensive and more helpful.
The best thing about the Wasatch backcountry app is that it shows local names for areas so you can converse with other people about a route without necessarily looking at it on the map. Not sure that’s worth the money.

BigCornice,
See map, names and position even without a signal.
This app is very well done. Significant research went into this. This is most obvious from the free desktop app which is also worth checking out. If you want a great, searchable map of the Wasatch that will show your location even when Google can't, this is the app to get.
Singersmith,
Poor value
All of the reviews raving about this app must come from people who know nothing about navigation. This app is a complete waste of money and I’m deleted it 90 seconds after opening it.
If you need to know local names for each individual face this might be of some use to you (but so is a book). Otherwise, all of the information provided here can be acquired for free and better. Use Avenza PDF maps and you can have USGS topos or a topo on a sat image. All of the ski-specific information is available for free online; take a screen shot of that before you go.

disappointed
For $13, I wish that the app was more than just a map with labels. When you attempt to get information for the different areas, it opens a link in your web browser to their website (which is free to access), which means you have to have service to access that information. For such an expensive app, I really wish that they had built that information into the app. I had such high hopes for this app but regret spending so much money on it.
