In the short year since the opening of the Apple App Store, iPhone applications have already begun to transform travel. But with more than 2,000 applications already, where to start? With the 20 best, of course.
Ski Jump is a ridiculously addictive little application for the iPhone—so darn addictive that the Adventure Life is super stoked to announce a new contest based on it. All you have to do is download the free version and log the longest jump before the contest ends on July 13. Your incentive is loot from Cloudveil—the top three finishers win apparel from this sweet Jackson Hole brand.
Time to get your Eddie the Eagle on, kids. The Adventure Life and Cloudveil are announcing the first iPhone Ski Jump App contest. So simple, it’s stupid: Longest jump during the contest period wins. Prizes will include Cloudveil jackets, gloves, and other CV swag, along with iTunes gift cards.
The most essential iPhone accessory isn’t a silicone case, extra battery, or Bluetooth headset. It’s not even a votive candle with a picture of Steve Jobs on it. This “necessory” costs just six bucks for a three-pack and it is…a hyperstrong, waterproof, ziplock uber-baggie called aLoksak.
So, what of outdoor apps? Do the iPhone and Mother Nature play well? The short is answer is “yes”. Read on and GET THE LIST>
