Currently, the start-up is working directly with more than 50 ski and mountain resorts in 8 different countries, each with their own Skitude-compatible app for monitoring and ranking performance. In addition, Skitude works with an ever-increasing network of outdoor brands which includes Snowinn, Atomic or Elan for example.
