My favorite app for snowboarding is Instagram. Instagram is known for making something look a lot cooler than it really is. However, since snowboarding is already cool, imagine how awesome a snowboarding photo looks!

Throw a filter on a shot of you in powder, and it looks like it could be the cover of the next Transworld or Snowboarder magazine. Also, GoPro has an app that links the camera to your phone, so not only can you use it as a screen to record or view photos and videos. You can directly upload them to your phone, which in turn upload them to Instagram.

Take a photo hitting a jump or riding in the trees, and on the chairlift, check out the photos and upload one by the time your at the top. GoPros, Instagram and snowboarding are a match made in heaven!
