The more I use it, the more impressed I am
It took me a day to adjust but once I got a feel for the app, I started to appreciate it more and more. There are so many thoughtful features like replays or the interactive map or being able to track unofficial runs; but what I appreciate most is being able to find your friends on the mountain WITHOUT having to “create a group” every. single. time. That one less step makes such a huge difference, I can’t even tell you. And to have the choice not to share, if you don’t want to. Well done. Thank you!
PS. One feature that would be super helpful is to be able to edit our “end time” in the event we forget to end our session before leaving the mountain. Many of us have accidentally tracked our drives home & our top speed times are ridiculous! 🤣

Undisputed Best Mountain App
I started using this app in 2018. I can’t compare it to other mountain apps, but I still wouldn’t switch regardless. It works perfectly with your watch or phone. The best way to review this is to tell you how it works on a typical snow day. 1. I arrive at the lift and open the “Slopes” app on my Apple Watch 2. It automatically knows what mountain you are on, so you just select your activity: —— Downhill: snowboard / skis / telemark skis / monoski /sitski / snowbike / other. —— Backcountry: skis / snowboard / splitboard / other —— Other Winter Sports 3. The app will start tracking your session, and you can put your phone away or cover your watch in your sleeve for the rest of your day. Optional Lunch: If you want to take lunch, open the app on your phone/watch and hit the pause button for a specified time or manually resume it. 4. At the end of the day, you tap the checkered flag, and it will load all your stats for the day. Stats: - # of Runs - Total Vertical - Total Time - Total Distance - Average Speed - Top Speed - Tallest Run - Peak Altitude - Longest Run Extra: if you connect your watch, it tracks your health. - Average BPM on runs - Max BPM - KCAL burned 5. Go home after your trip and open the app to see All Lifetime Stats. You will see the best scores for each category out of all your days on the mountain. BEST APP FOR THE MOUNTAIN

Sensational game changer
I am a very average 56yo skier and even worse navigator in the mountains. I often worry I will lose the group I am with. I used the app today for the first time and it was sensational. I could see where my family was at any given time. I could ski a little slower and be confident I would find them again. It was also fun to see my stats and compare them to my sons’. Slopes works very well and the user interface is fantastic. Curtis what an amazing app. Thank you!

Great App best I have used
Just completed our final run for the weekend in St Anton. Spring like conditions but got a few miles under our skis. Three weeks ago we were in Valmeinier a fantastic weeks holiday in have been using Slopes for a few years now and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Honestly believe that Slopes is the best one out there. The attention to details is absolutely first class and I found myself reviewing my stats from the day and then down to each run. Guess I will have to book another holiday to use it again.

Awesome skiing all
Really great skiing app! Some more features I would love:
- more regular updates of friend location (or live refresh, if I close the app and open I get the new location but if I just keep hovering in them it doesn’t move)
- interactive maps for where I was skiing (Gastein)
- more regular updates of friend location (or live refresh, if I close the app and open I get the new location but if I just keep hovering in them it doesn’t move)
- interactive maps for where I was skiing (Gastein)
The go to app for the slopes
Slopes is the friendly portal to tracking your skiing activities and your skiing buddies. Accurate and with a host of data and functionality all our crew ski with Slopes, enabling us to stay in touch and chat through our day with a bit of data back up to support the tales.
For the future, maybe total distance travelled can be shown, as well as descents. Also, an automatic purse function when stationary for over a set period.

Simple to Use
I have used the MC Pass in two different ski areas and it has been seamlessly accepted without going to the ticket window or asking anyone at either resort! It is as if you have a season pass to all of these ski areas!! Looking forward to using it at two more ski areas this upcoming week!! Thank You for such a Great App!!! All the while tacking my ski activity using this Great Slopes App! My friend at Sun Valley turned me on to it and it is fantastic. Great to find friends on the mountain and know your activity for the day and so simple to use! Turn it on once and you’re done! It even has an auto feature to turn on, I have learned!! Well done! Only improvement I can suggest would be to allow manual entry of a missed day for # of runs and even an estimate for the vertical feet skied that day. Thanks and keep up the great work!!

5hrs of boarding data lost after app crashes
I’ve used this app for 4 years now and I used to love it. Now they raise theirs prices $5 every year (way ahead of inflation), at this point they’re milking every penny out of their customers, while pushing for auto renewal (trashy dark-pattern). They keep adding more and more features that I don’t use or care about. While the CORE FUNCTIONALITY, recording my runs during the day is completely useless after the app crashes at the end of the day. I’d expect the app to work flawlessly when I pay 30$ A SEASON. But it seems the developer has just become greedy, adding all kinds of feature while ignoring their most basic functionality. Maybe focus on your roots, and make your team lean to focus on what really matter. I won’t be paying for any subscription moving forward. Every year is more issues and disappointments.

Response from developer
Yeah, I knew the price change on that wouldn't be great for 100% of customers, sorry. The issue with the old 7-day pass is that a *ton* of people were only skiing for 3 or 4 days, so they were writing in annoyed they were paying for days they weren't using. The new pass doesn't have to be used all within a week; those 5 days never expire. That's a big change from how things used to work! This is much better for people who go on one or two weekend trips a year, but I know that the people riding for 6 or 7 days in a row this works out less awesome. That said, use the Help & Support under the More tap to get in touch. I'll hook 'ya up.
Great app, some bugs
Been using for a few years now & it’s great, it’s become my logbook over the years and I love the ski/backcountry options that have been added. However, a really annoying bug that I’ve noticed this season. Notifications, I can’t seem to turn them off in the app, I can’t change the switch to turn them off. Which is a problem when you’re in a hotel that’s right next to a lift because they come through every 5 minutes telling me I’m near a lift, would I like to record a run. All night.. tried to turn them off in iOS too, but that hasn’t worked either. I’m wondering if it’s because I have an active pass perhaps?

Awesome!
Fantastic app! Can’t think of any improvements - it’s that good! Adds a whole new dimension to a day on the mountain. I’m hooked!
