One meeting point. Every level.

Pick a hut, a lift or any spot on the map. Each friend gets a route on runs that suit their level, plus their own arrival time. Beginners and experts end up at the same table.

Talk without stopping.

Group chat with voice notes and one-tap replies. “I’m here” drops your spot on the map, and “Need help” goes to the whole group. Beta testers with a Garmin can read and reply on the watch without taking their gloves off.

How FriSki handles your data

Built by two people who ski.

It’s the app we wanted on the mountain. We hand new builds to friends, hear what bugs them and fix it.

More about us

Before you join.

Read the full FAQ

Which phones does it run on?

Android and iPhone. The Android beta is running now, and iPhone testers get their invite with the first iPhone build. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it’s your turn.

Do I need a smartwatch?

No, a watch is optional. On Android, a ski day card in your notifications shows the next turn, the meeting point and your group. On iPhone, the same card arrives as a Live Activity with the first iPhone build. Beta testers with one of 12 Garmin models can try an early preview of the watch app, which works with their phone nearby. An Apple Watch app is in development.

See it on the lock screen and watch
Does it work without mobile signal?

The map does, once you’ve downloaded your resort. Do it on Wi-Fi before you travel: open your resort’s map and FriSki saves all of it, up to about 225 MB. The pistes, lifts and place names are then on your phone. GPS doesn’t need a network, so the map, your route and its spoken directions keep working in a dead zone. Friends’ live positions, chat and friend alerts need a connection, and they catch up as soon as you have signal again.

Is FriSki a safety device?

No, and please don’t use it as one. Positions and alerts can be late or wrong, especially where the signal is weak. In an emergency, call the local emergency number or ski patrol.

More on safety and troubleshooting
Who can see my location?

Only your group. Groups are invite-only: people join by scanning the group’s QR code, typing its code, opening a share link or accepting an email invite. If you’re in more than one group, your position goes only to the one you have open, and while you navigate, that group also sees where you’re heading. Your location is shared whenever location sharing is on, not just on ski days. When you want a break, turn on Ghost mode or switch sharing off in Settings.

How does the beta work?

Join the waitlist and we’ll email you an invite when it’s your turn: a Google Play testing link on Android, or TestFlight on iPhone once the first iPhone build is out. A short guide in the app walks you through your group, the map and the audio. After a ski day, the app may ask how it went, and you can send feedback from Settings at any time.

Get your group into the beta.

Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it’s your turn. FriSki works best when your whole group has it, so send this page to the friends you ski with.

We’ll email you when beta access is ready.
