Quick answer
Badgie Ski is the iPhone app for ski and snowboard instructors. It is free for the instructor: tap the badge the child has earned, choose who gets it and their own WhatsApp opens with the message written. The family receives a link to a card with the badge of the day and the child's album, which opens on any phone with no account or app.

Where to find it
- App Store: «Badgie Ski». The public website is badgie.es/badgie-ski (Android, according to the website, coming soon).
- App tabs (Spanish interface shown): Insignias (the wall), Alumnos (students) and Historial (history).
- At sign-up the instructor searches for their school, confirms they teach there, answers two questions and signs in with their email.
The badge wall
The main screen is the badge wall, with three tabs: Esquí (ski), Snow and Escuela (school). There is no «send» button: you tap the badge the child has earned.
- Badgie's sets go from the first day to independence: for ski, First day on snow, Snowplough, First chairlift, Green runs… up to Red runs; for snowboard, from First day on a board to the First grab. The first three levels of each set are free; the rest unlock with the in-app Pro subscription.
- If the instructor's school is on Badgie, Escuela shows the school's own badges; the school's badges are never locked.
Sending a badge in three taps
The public website sums it up as «Three taps in the chairlift queue»:
- Tap the badge (or several: the first is the main one) and press send.
- Step 1, «Who are you sending it to?»: search by name or mobile, pick from the last children you sent to, select all, or create a new student with their family's name and mobile (it can come from the contacts).
- Step 2, «Customise»: an optional note and the channel: WhatsApp (your WhatsApp opens with the message written) or email (sent automatically). With several children, the conversations chain one after another.
What the family sees
The family gets the message in their own language (Spanish, English, French, Catalan, Italian or Portuguese) from the instructor's number. The first message introduces the instructor; the next ones go straight to the point. The link opens a public card with the badge of the day, the child's album (what they have and what is missing), the instructor's signature and the school logo if the school is on Badgie. The card never carries the family's mobile or surnames.
Students, history and data
The students tab is the instructor's address book: every child they have added during the season, with the family's mobile and the badges each one has.
History keeps what was delivered by day: today at the top and the season below. Tapping a delivery shows it the way the family sees it.
The data screen explains what the app stores, where and who sees it, with a button to delete it. The app can be locked with Face ID so nobody opens the student list if the phone is lent or lost.
Badgie Ski and the school dashboard
Today, Badgie Ski deliveries are kept on the instructor's phone and on the family card; they are not yet recorded on the student's profile in the school dashboard. For the badge to appear on the profile and in the matrix, the school grants it from ACADEMY › Badges or from the Badgie coach app (see the «Ski school in Badgie» guide). The school tab shows the instructor what their school would get with Badgie and lets them ask for a call.
By sport: ski and snowboard
With the AI agent
Badgie Ski has no agent of its own. At the school, Badgie's AI agent reads a collection's progress (get_collection_progress) and prepares grouped grants (award_badge) that the school approves.
