Jackson Hole has a cool new iPhone app.  JH Tapped uses the iPhone’s built-in GPS to locate skiers and their friends on the official Jackson Hole trail map and log the user’s runs and vertical feet travelled...

The app allows users to pinpoint their location on the actual Jackson Hole, Wyoming trail map, not a hard-to-read topographical or satellite map. JH Tapped is the first app tailored to an individual resort.

JH Tapped also provides current weather and snow conditions, resort webcam views, and real-time lift status information, as well as a built-in directory for Teton Village services and amenities.

JH Tapped was conceived and developed by Dan and Ingrid Miller, Jackson Hole locals and resort employees.  “We have taken full advantage of the iPhone’s capabilities,” said Dan Miller, “and I think people will be impressed by the app’s features.”  JH Tapped will be an indispensable guide to Jackson Hole this winter for both first time visitors and seasoned locals.

A free preview version is now available on the iPhone App Store.  The 2009-2010 complete version; JH Tapped 2010, will be available in early November and will offer even more features including: an interface for uploading logs to Facebook and enhanced location capabilities that use the iPhone’s built-in compass to display the direction the user is facing or travelling.
