The North Face and Apple have released two unbelievably useful iPhone applications to help you find the best trails around the globe. For those looking for the most up-to-date snow conditions at North American and international resorts, download The North Face Snow Report. This easy-to-use and comprehensive app features hourly weather updates and five-day forecasts, current snow conditions, projected snowfall in 24, 48 and-72 hour intervals, avalanche advisories, detailed trail maps, driving directions, and Facebook and Twitter compatibility so you can share stories about your best run of the day.

If snow sports aren't your thing, and you're looking for a drier track through the mountains, check out The North Face Trailhead application. Based on your location, this app searches its database of over 300,000 trails to find the best route for hiking, biking, and backcountry skiing based on your desired activity, location and distance. Once you've selected your route, you can get instant driving directions and track your progress, elevation and speed in real-time using the interactive GPS, and then share a summit photo with your Facebook and Twitter friends. The best part: these apps are FREE downloads at the iTunes Store.
