Boston, Massachusetts (PRWEB) November 27, 2007 -- After a successful launch at the Ski Fervor and BEWI Sports Ski Shows beginning in Seattle and culminating in Boston on November 18, 2007, SkiTrak LLC today announces the general availability of the SkiTrak software. SkiTrak enables you to systematically track and store your ski activity in explicit detail utilizing GPS technology.

SkiTrak takes GPS-recorded ski tracking data about where you've skied, how fast you ski, for how long and how many miles, and organizes and calculates statistics about your skiing, creating a simple display that both maps and analyzes the data for you. Skiers just wear a wristwatch style GPS or any portable GPS to capture the data and then ski all day. When done, skiers simply need to connect the GPS to their computer and SkiTrak automatically downloads the information for processing. Every time you ski, a new day of data gets added automatically to the rest, giving you unlimited cumulative statistics, yet still organized by resort, day and season.

SkiTrak saves information about your skiing from different perspectives including season totals of vertical feet, distance and times skied and details of speed and steepness for every second of your ski run. SkiTrak is a skiers log book that runs on your computer and displays detailed maps of your skiing with Satellite Images ** so you can see which trails you skied as well as which ones you missed. SkiTrak is easy to use and does not require you to be technical to use and understand the details about your skiing.

"SkiTrak is for ski enthusiasts who are interested in tracking their progress on the slopes," said Bill Langlais, president of SkiTrak. "SkiTrak gives you the information you need to assess your progress over time. SkiTrak is also the perfect way for you to capture the fun you had on those ski vacations and compare it to other vacation ski resorts or your home mountain."

SkiTrak software runs on computers running all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista and requires about 500 megabytes of disk space. SkiTrak works with any Garmin USB or Serial GPS or Magellan Serial GPS that stores track data. It will also work with any GPS that can export track data to a ".gpx" file.

SkiTrak software's list price is $99.99 and can be purchased along with a Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS for an additional $217.00. To get more information or to purchase SkiTrak, visit www.skitrak.com.
