BroskiThere are two apps called PowderPals
PowderPals: Ski and Snowboard
On the US App Store and Google Play. “A social app for skiers and snowboarders who want to find people to ride with, plan mountain days, and stay connected on and off the mountain.” This is the one in the scorecard.
PowderPals: Ski Buddies
A different developer, on the App Store outside the US and on Google Play. Find riders at your level, join open trips, ask riders about resorts in “The Lodge” and split trip costs. English only, and free to download with in-app purchases (UK App Store, October 2026).
Why Broski is the better way to find ski buddies

Pick a resort and a date and see exactly who's free to ride it, with their sport and ability.
Two weeks at a glance
Every rider's free days for the next two weeks, so you can line up Saturday's crew on Monday.
3,500+ resorts, 69 countries
From the Alps to Japan to the Rockies, each resort on Broski has its own riders, events and group chat.
A crew at every resort
Every resort, pass and event has a group chat, and anyone can host a meetup, from lift laps to opening day.
Safety built in
Requests first, chat after. Nobody can message you until you say yes, blocking takes one tap, and hosts can make events women-only.
