Westbank, BC – August 6, 2024 – skiKrumb, the leading provider of radio GPS trackers for ski resorts, today announced the addition of Mt. Sima to its network. With this expansion, skiKrumb now offers its services at 5 popular ski destinations in Canada, including Revelstoke, Big White, Sun Peaks and Apex.
skiKrumb’s advanced technology provides skiers and snowboarders with live updates every 10 seconds on an interactive 3d map. skiKrumb also offers daily replays, tracks statistics such as runs, distance, altitude and more.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Mt. Sima to the skiKrumb family and I’m excited to visit the community at the end of August for Slamfest,” said Keith MacIntyre, CEO of skiKrumb. “With the unique layout of Mt. Sima and Whitehorse we think there will be many other uses for skiKrumb beyond skiing and boarding. Our customers last year have told us that skiKrumb changed their entire skiing experience and they will never ski without it again.”
“We are excited to partner with Skikrumb and work with them to bring their system from other large BC resorts to the Yukon. With the installation of their system at the top of the mountain, we are able to facilitate the use of this technology for the community. Mt. Sima is always looking to the future and working to keep our users as safe as possible and now also able to assist with location services for the Whitehorse valley.”, Sam Oettli, GM Mt. Sima
skiKrumb is also officially announcing skiKrumb Unbound. Last season skiKrumb customers needed access to the cellular network or WiFi to see where their friends and family were on the mountain. This year they won’t. If the skiKrumb device is connected to our network they will be able to see where their friends and family are on a map on their phone even with no cell connection.
“It’s been my dream for many years after being separated from my son while skiing, to connect people at ski resorts without relying on the cell network. Our devices are small, rechargeable devices that can transmit many kilometers. They don’t freeze in the cold and are the most reliable tech for the challenging environment of resorts.”, says Keith MacIntyre
skiKrumb’s platform is available as a mobile app and a website. The app is free to download and use. skiKrumb devices are available for purchase for $175 through the company’s website and the $50/year subscription is free for 1 year if purchased before August 31st. There is a discount of $50/device if 4 or more are purchased. https://app.skikrumb.ca/reserve
With new resorts signing on, we are expecting high demand and have a limited number of skiKrumbs available so we recommend purchasing early to ensure you have peace of mind while on the slopes this upcoming winter.
