Great App!
I love this app and use it every time I go skiing.
My only ask of the developer would be for an improved or fairer pricing strategy for less frequent skiers/boarders. For example, I go skiing one a year for 7, 10 or 14 days. With the current pricing strategy, I have to pay for 2 x 7 day blocks, which is near the price of an annual subscription and that seems at odds when I can’t justify buying an annual pass just for a single yearly trip.
I ask for consideration for us who are not fortunate enough to play in the snow all year round. Maybe a 7 day, one month and annual pass option … possibly!?

First Class!
I’ve been a subscriber since the first version of the app and am a very happy subscriber. For the price of a couple hours of a ski lift pass, this app gives all the information about your day’s activities - and then gives historical analysis as well. I’ve never experienced a crash or a freeze - it does what is says it will reliably. The app has frequent updates and uses little power on an Apple Watch. I once connected with the developer to suggest some improvements and got a rapid response (which surprised me!) and the implemented the suggestions in due course. If you’re a keen skier or boarder, this is definitely worth a few of your hard bucks! Worth noting that you can wait your day’s recording easily when you don’t tell the app you’ve finished for the day and jump in a car or bus - this is something you can’t do on Apple’s native fitness app.

Thanks for the great review!
Best snow sports tracker i used so far
Even the free version gives you a lot of info about your ride, the integration with Apple Watch works perfectly

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we're so happy to hear that you enjoy using Slopes!
Brings a new dimension to skiing
My wife, daughter and I all put this in our phones and I must say what a great app, worked perfectly and added new fun comparing our statistics and tracking each other around the ski field, then comparing our speeds on runs and overall top speed, what great fun.
We did it right at the last day of the season so now can’t wait for next season to use it more.
Thank you Slopes for a great app.

Thanks so much for the review, it made our day. We're looking forward to having you guys back using the app next year! 🙌
The best ski tracking app (even works for NZ)
Lots of different data tracked on each run and then aggregated summary. So easy to use every morning- it knows which mountain we’ve driven to. I can now compare my friends stats in my app. I love the moving visual of what we skied. And most of all I love the pricing option’s because we don’t get a season pass and 7 days is perfect!! Thanks Slopes. I love your app.

Good app, worth the $
Been using slopes since almost day one, easy and intuitive
The only app you need on the slopes
Seriously, the amount of work that has gone into this app since day is incredible. I don’t get to ride as much anymore but this app still has never left my phone.
Great
It’s really good and I used it all march, but the new update keeps crashing as soon as I open the app. This is on my iPhone 7 running iOS 15. Please help

Hey, we're so sorry about this! There was a bug causing this in 2023.7, but we just pushed out a fix in 2023.8 over the weekend which fixed it. If you still have trouble after updating, please send us an email to hello@getslopes.com and we'll get it sorted.
Fantastic app, so glad I found it!
Update April 2023:
I’ve skied well over 100 days since I first reviewed this app, and Slopes is an absolutely indispensable part of my ski day. I am a ski instructor and I love having the data from the day to share with my students; when skiing outside of work I love the integration with Strava, the ability to treat Slopes like a private ski journal, and the friend location tracking— incredibly well designed. There are a few features I’d like to see added or modified, and response from the team has been fast and enthusiastic. Everyone who slides on snow should be using this app, it’s awesome! (Oh and SO good having it run on my watch, super easy to use and doesn’t drain my phone battery.) The free version is excellent; I wound up subscribing because I want to support a small developer, and the extra features are pretty cool.

Original review april 2022:
I’ve only used Slopes for two days skiing so far, but I’m incredibly impressed. The tracking is flawless, it doesn’t drain my phone battery too much, and the ways the data can be replayed and logged is wonderful. The free version is excellent, and absolutely worth using, and after trying the pay version yesterday I’m certain I’ll be subscribing next season for the 3D map alone— so cool! (I currently have Slopes automatically send the day’s data to Strava— Strava doesn’t always read the lifts correctly, but that’s on Strava, not Slopes.)

Thanks so much for the review, Em! We really appreciate your support, it allows us to continue working on the app and improving it year on year 💥
Awesome app
Used recently on a trip with a group, excellent for tracking where people are. Highly recommended.
Would be really useful if the developers could think about the following addition:
When using on iPhone and tracking friends, its hard to work out who is who just by seeing their icon. Maybe have their name floating over their icon picture or their icon picture enlarges when it is clicked on ?
