phresheez

This list is pretty much a joke. no Tahoe resorts and most especially Kirkwood? When you drive by Carson Spur midwinter after a big dump and you see the 30' berms, you start to get a feel for just how much snow we get. Normally at least :|

Ok... I can see from here that it had quite a bit of activity from the accelerometer which may have been contributing to this problem. As you probably know, phones vary quite a bit manufacturer to manufacturer on Android due to hardware and OS driver bugs. Once I cut that out, I can get you a new release... heck maybe I'll work on it now since I'M NOT SKIING TODAY Mike

@phillycore -- do you possibly have your "Track Precision" set to "High Resolution"? It looks a lot like that here. If so, turn it back to "Normal", and you'll probably get better battery. That's going to get deprecated in the next version of the app as it was really an experiment adding the accelerometer data that we've never really gotten around to supporting and it's a *real* battery sucker. Mike The Blackberry -- which we're not developing for anymore -- was funny: some of them were really, really good with the battery, but things like the Torch were really atrocious. Same app/software on our end, so it was pretty obviously bad optimization in the BlackBerry OS. It's one of the many reasons we gave up with those guys... what a mess. Mike

yeah, the battery sucked really badly on the 3G but really since about the 4 it's not been much of a problem for us even when it's really cold. Good to hear that the 4s is good too. Now who knows what it will be like when Apple finally does 4G which I've heard is a real battery pig.

it good to see you all out there... it's about time! if it makes you happy, it's all man made out here in the Sierra, though I heard from Whistler that they're 100% open.

not sure, but it's $.99/day $1.99 for 7 days $4.99 for 31 days and $9.99 for the year. the first 2 hours at a resort are free, so you can get a pretty good idea of what you'll get before you decide.

yeah, good idea. the app will remind you though ;-)

name and i'll shame on nanog

Yeah, the BB app still works fine as far as I know. It's just that it has the same limited UI. The real answer is that your employer needs to get with the 21st century Mike

Ok, I just mailed them... Usually those generic addresses are black holes for any reason, but if you've got a response from it maybe there's something on the other end it probably wouldn't hurt for them to get your feedback too... the more they hear the better! Mike Rootdjk -- are you planning on getting a non-blackberry any time soon? We've given up on them as they're both impossible to work with and they're dying (don't get me started about them requiring a business plan for free app). The experience on iPhone and Android are miles better... not sure if you've seen the emulator on our website but you might want to check it out to see what it looks like. Mike

Justo -- we did ads last year. The only people getting rich off of ads are google and apple, IMO -- sure not us. What we really want is for resorts to pick up the tab for our users like Sierra-at-Tahoe is doing now. Vail has EpicMix but Phresheez is much better and has way more content. Considering that it's rumored that Vail dropped about $25M into EpicMix, a resort using Phresheez as their answer is a *vastly* cheaper alternative, and we've been at this for 4 seasons now so it's not like it's just vapor... we could literally have Blue Mountain up and running to give their guests free Phresheez in minutes. And yes, the promo possibilities for them are limitless. That's why we'd love if some of you got the word out for us Mike

we changed our model this year so that you get the first two hours of skiing/riding free, and then you can use in-app purchase to buy the day (or season). so you'll always get to see you and your friends results now. check it out, it's a lot easier and friendlier. Mike

If you come out to Tahoe and ski Kirkwood, you're almost sure to find us up there with our swag-bag... testing the app, of course ;-)

Hey all, Just thought I'd drop by and let you know that we've inked a deal with Sierra-at-Tahoe to give you Phresheez completely free when you ski or ride there. So if you're coming out to Tahoe this season, definitely check out Sierra not only because it's a fun place, but now because of Phresheez too. Best of all is that we've built a resort-wide leader board so you can compete with everybody else running Phresheez on the day that you ski/ride there! That said, we know that you all have literally put Pa on the map for us. If you know folks at resorts in your neck of the woods that we could talk to... we'd love to get the same deal for you all in Pa too. If you can share some contacts, and/or introduce us, that would be great. Contact me off-list at mike@phresheez.com if you have any ideas. Can't wait for you all to start getting out there... Pray for snow! Mike

yes, and it can total it over the entire season too. and much, much more. Mike
