Found via TechCrunch, here’s an app that will wake you up earlier than your alarm is scheduled if there is new snow. I should’ve used this last week.

OpenSnow iPhone app now available
Kudos to Joel over at OpenSnow for launching an iPhone app. If you want to see photographic, on-the-slopes, evidence of new snow in Colorado, this is the place to check. Be sure to sign up for the powder alerts so you know when the inches start coming down.
This is too cool not to watch: it’s a snowboard built with an iPad in the base and a glowing logo on the bottom just like a MacBook. Special appearance by Loveland. Kudos to Every Third Thursday and hat tip to Dave Morin.
Here’s a quick article by yours truly over on the Buzz blog talking a bit about how to be tech savvy on the slopes: GPS apps, touch screens, and EpicMix . Expect to see a few more guest posts this season.
Head over to the EpicMix homepage to download the new iPhone and Android apps (version 2.0) for the 2011-2012 season. With some slick design changes and updates for the new photo sharing, you’ll want to make sure you have this in hand if you’re heading up to Keystone this opening weekend.
Check it out, Bonnier has released the TransWorld Snowboarding magazine app for free on the iPad. A great addition to the “Newsstand” in iOS 5.
Has anyone bought the Ski Dice iPhone app from @jossiwells? Seems like a good way for freeskiers to challenge themselves: http://www.skidice.net/
