New Clif Bar iPhone app shows snow report and resort eco-friendliness

Engerybar maker Clif Bar is introducing the first iPhone application to combine ski resort snow conditions with environmental steps the resorts are taking to combat global warming.

 

The Clif Bar SOS iPhone app enables the user to find snow conditions at any of the more than 500 ski resorts in North America. You can learn current powder, temperature and wind conditions, the percentage of lifts open, a three-day weather forecast, and the resort's phone number. 

 

And just for fun, you can blow into your iPhone microphone and cause your screen to ice over. You can use your fingers to brush away the ice or just watch it melt away. If it's snowing at the resort you choose to view, snowflakes fall across your iPhone screen.

 

Icons on each resort's screen page also allow you to see what ski resorts are doing to combat climate change in the areas of renewable energy, transportation, waste reduction, and education and outreach. You'll also learn if a resort has received a Clif Bar Golden Eagle Award, which annually honors National Ski Areas Association ski resorts for their overall environmental achievements.
