Current conditions using satellites that centres on your position and weather warnings in the next few hours – especially useful for when there’s snow in the air and there’s a chance you could be stranded. Which leads us nicely on to…
Will there be snow on the slopes?
Freshy MP

It claims to connect you with the ‘best ski report data in the world’. Fan of the white stuff? Sounds like this might be right up your slope.
North Face snow report

‘Everything you need for your next trip to the mountains’ – not just whether there’ll be snow. Includes resort guides and trail maps, and it includes a Facebook element so you can upload photos direct from the slopes and make all your friends jealous!
Games to play when you’re snowed in
Polar Ice
Price – Free
Available at – Windows Marketplace
The concept’s simple, tilt the phone or touch the screen to avoid the obstacles. Like a driving game. But with penguins.
Antarctica
Price – Free
Available at – Nokia Store
Be the ‘brave Eskimo’ (or Inuit) and tackle the avalanche that’s snowed in all the species (you know, the ones you find in the Antarctic like dragons and UFOs). Levels and bosses – classic.
Making your Nokia winter-ready
…and by that, we mean making it look pretty. With a wallpaper like this one:
Snow flake theme
Price – Free
Available at – Nokia Store
Even if it’s not snowing outside (hello to readers in warmer climes!) you can make like it is with this wallpaper. Bbbrrrr.
Notice something all these apps have in common? That’s right, they are all *free*. Call it an early gift from us.
