Apex Offers Parents GPS Tracker For Kids
SkiKrumb, an innovative and easy to use GPS-enabled device designed to track the location of children and youth skiers, is now available to pre-order for families looking to keep the focus on fun this ski season.
SkiKrumb provides peace of mind to parents on the ski hill, thanks to a long-lasting battery, and advanced technology that reaches users where cell phones and other GPS-enabled trackers cannot.
“After years of research and development to bring this product to market, and as a parent who experienced being separated from my son on the hill, I am so pleased that we’re able to provide parents with peace of mind during a day on the slopes,” says Keith MacIntyre, Founder and CEO of SkiKrumb. “I’m especially thrilled to be partnering with Apex Mountain Resort to bring SkiKrumb’s functionality to their guests this upcoming ski season. With live locations and daily replays, families can can focus on fun at the resort.”
SkiKrumb’s capabilities are unparalleled in the outdoor equipment industry, thanks to a unique partnership between hardware, software, and resort infrastructure. That level of collaboration is the backbone of a seamless experience for users, and a much more trusted and durable device for parents, when compared to other GPS-enabled trackers.
“Apex Mountain Resort is a very family friendly mountain due to its layout, and now, with the addition of skiKrumb, parents can have peace of mind while their kids are off riding,” comments James Shalman, General Manager of Apex Mountain Resort. “We like to support local and SkiKrumb is not only local, but such an innovative product when it comes to skier safety, that we wanted to make sure we offered it to our guests.”
SkiKrumb is available for 1-day, 5-day, and 10-day rentals at Apex Mountain Resort, starting this Autumn. Discounted pre-orders for the device are available online today for skiers looking to visit Apex Mountain at any point over the 2023-2024 ski season. To book your SkiKrumb, visit https://app.skikrumb.ca/pre-purchase/. Credits can be applied to your day on the slopes when the mobile app is launched in October.
To kick off the partnership, members of the SkiKrumb team will be in attendance at the annual Apex Ski Patrol Ski and Board Swap at the Penticton Curling Rink on September 15th-16th.
A portion of the proceeds from the rental funds from that event will be donated towards the volunteer ski patrol services and equipment on Apex Mountain and Baldy Mountain resorts.
