Live snow conditions, a 5‑day forecast, and safety guidance for right now. Then press start and EM‑Snow records a real alpine‑ski activity — counting your runs while you just ski.
For Garmin fenix 6X Pro, fenix 7 and venu 2. Works with the EM‑Snow web app at snow.0‑21.co.uk.
Most watches make you tap start at the top of every run and stop at every lift. EM‑Snow doesn’t. It records one continuous FIT activity and works out the rest for itself — skiing, riding the lift, or standing at the bar — so the file that lands in Garmin Connect is honest without you touching a button.
Once a second, EM‑Snow reads barometric altitude, speed and heading over a rolling window and classifies what you’re doing. Straight climb at speed? That’s a lift. Losing height fast? That’s a run — and a new one is added to your lap list automatically.
Ski time, lift time and idle time run in parallel the whole day. Want a friend’s honest total or a hard‑charging “moving only” number? Both are already in the data — no decision to make on the hill.
EM‑Snow finds your turns from the heading trace and scores each run 0–100 on rhythm and consistency — even turns and steady speed score high, stop‑go and skidding score low. A number you can actually chase, run after run.
GET ME DOWN speaks through vibration so you never have to look down — even with gloves on or in zero visibility. One long buzz: turn right. Two short pulses: turn left. A soft tick: carry on straight. A rising triple: you’re there. Every completed run ends with a buzz; a high-flow run earns a longer celebratory note.
When you save, the day’s conditions are baked into the FIT file as custom fields — so years from now Garmin Connect still shows exactly what the mountain was like the day you skied it.
Open EM‑Snow and the whole picture is there in a glance — pulled live from the EM‑Snow backend, cached on the watch so it’s there even when signal isn’t.
Base and summit depth, 24 and 72‑hour snowfall, piste condition, freezing level and a five‑day strip — the morning briefing without the phone.
The forecast scored into a suggestion for today — or tomorrow’s plan tonight — so you know which aspect will be good and when it opens.
Caught out by weather? Hold start for offline safety guidance to get off the mountain — avalanche level front and centre, phone in the pocket.
Share a six‑character code with your group and see where everyone is on the hill — then let the guide route the rest of the party to them, up the lifts and all.
Finished up? EM‑Snow paints a QR code on the watch that hands the day straight to the web app for a full 3D flyby — no cables, no fiddling.
Change resort right on the wrist — nearest resorts by GPS, your recents, or automatic. No more digging through phone settings mid‑trip.
The same live backend, opened up. A resort dashboard for planning the trip, powder alerts that ping when it dumps, and a 3D flyby that replays the day EM‑Snow just recorded on your wrist.
EM‑Snow is a full Connect IQ watch app — launched from the app list or glance carousel, with a background service that keeps conditions fresh every hour.
More devices as EM‑Snow rolls out. The activity recording needs a barometric altimeter — standard on all three watches above.
EM‑Snow gives you the conditions before you drop in, the safety net if it turns, and a ski file worth looking back on — all from the watch already on your wrist.
