An application for the Android OS which turns your phone into a ski or snowboard alarm clock with ski resort monitoring features. This project is based on android-ski-report found at http://code.google.com/p/android-ski-report/
It would be nice if there was a way for the application to check with the server and see if any new resorts have been added recently.
I'm not quite sure the best way to notify the user (I don't want to annoy them), but from a technical standpoint I'm thinking something along the lines of:
1) create a new URL on the server to return a list of regions/resorts
2) when the phone app starts it grabs the list and compares it to the previous list
3) if something has changed notify the user
