OT Snow - Ski resort weather report & conditions
· v.14
About
Alpha release - something I developed for myself and thought the community might like?
Please give constructive feedback and comments which will help improve the widget
How it works
Open the widget and it will use Garmin weather data by default to find your location and show information for the closest ski resort.
Within the app settings, you can override the auto selected resort by use of a UUID code.
Resort codes can be found here :- https://extreme-media.co.uk/otsnow/otsnow.php
This was made as a personal project and comes with no promises or guarantees.
Be kind, I will hopefully maintain and improve the widget throughout the year.
If you like the widget, or have constructive feedback let me know [email protected]

0.7
- Fixed cache error for main widget screen. Current memory limits restrict how much data can be loaded in the background. therefore only hourly data is cached, Daily data for the week is only updated on widget open. (im trying to work around memory limitations of various devices).
-Added support for newer devices (7/x/pro, Epix Gen2 and Descent Mk2 etc)
-Added additional weather icons
-Added ability to clear cached data from connectIQ widget settings (change "wipe storage" setting to yes). Helps clear cached data if you get a Crash icon help avoid an uninstall/reinstall.
0.6 - Added 3rd screen to show resort info - Opening - closing dates, opening/closing lift times (summary) & resort contact number (not always emergency)
Fixed a few potential bugs & reduced the memory requirements
Also, changed the background refresh times, updates are not so often required as the widget now holds more hourly data.
