Best apps to track skiing, snowboarding, and hockey on your Apple WatchPhoto courtesy Apple.
Winter hasn't quite left us yet — there's still plenty of time to hit the slopes or ice rink with you and your Apple Watch.
Whether you're a skier, snowboarder, or hockey player, the Apple Watch has some excellent apps that make it easy to track your exercise. watchOS 4.2 even has custom workout APIs built-in that support specific skiing and snowboarding metrics, including:
Vertical descent and horizontal distance
Number of runs
Average and maximum speed
All that is in addition to the basic workout metrics you'll get (heart rate, calories burned, time taken) and basic workout APIs (automatic pause, Siri, Health app recording, and the like).
Unfortunately, hockey doesn't yet have specific APIs built in yet, but we've found apps that do a great job of simulating the stats necessary to help you better track your play.
