There are few things I’m truly passionate about. My first passion was magic tricks. I actually got so into it that I pursued it semi-professionally for several years. It goes without saying that I’m very into technology and new media. But there's always been a special place in my heart for skiing. I’ve been cruising the slopes since I was two years old… I guess what I love most about the sport is the sense of absolute freedom it procures.
If any of you are also mountain aficionados (skiing, hiking, climbing or whatever crazy stuff you get up to up there), you may be familiar with the following scenario: you’re taking in the beautiful scenery, but you have no idea what any of the peaks are called. I went hiking in the Alps recently and I couldn’t tell which peak belonged to the Italian Alps or even which one was Mont Blanc.
I don’t tend to travel with panorama maps (I prefer to travel as lightly as possible, especially when trudging up mountains), and hence my thirst for informed mountain savviness is rarely quenched. Could PeakFinder Alps change all that? The app’s ambition is to provide users with a comprehensive panorama map of most European mountain ranges.
