love slopes, I’m an avid snow ski and boarder and have been using slopes premium for 5 years. love everything about it from the detailed run stats to competing with friends. Great app, uses hardly any battery, very easy to use, great 3d view. well done slopes team looking forward for the years to come

Thank you so much for the awesome review, we're so happy to hear that you're loving Slopes, and stoked to know that you've used it for 5 years! Have a great season down under 😉
Makes snowboarding even more fun
***update 1 June 2022*** congratulations on your nomination for a design award!

I love snowboarding. I’m really very bad at it, nearly 50 years old and totally unfit. But it just keeps dragging me back to the mountains. For the past five years I’ve used Slopes on every trip - who wouldn’t want to know how far they’ve trekked each day, each week, each season? Who wouldn’t want to see their daily efforts on a beautiful 3D representation of the mountain. Most of all, Slopes integrates with everything that’s good about iPhone: my pictures from the day form part of the logbook, my Apple Watch provides all the health sensor data that could possibly be needed. I simply cannot thank Curtis (the developer) enough for his continued efforts to not just maintain this app but to making it better and better each time!

Issues Retrieving Resort Info
I downloaded this app for my first trip out west thinking it would be nice to track my rides. For the most part, it’s been fantastic at recording my day! You really can set it and forget it for the most part. It’s jam packed with cool features that make it feel like you can “relive” some of your best days on the mountain via the logbook. Note: It’s not worth much without a paid membership, but that’s fine considering it’s the top-rated ski tracking app and you’re getting premium features.
I have had a few missed runs/sections of the day, but that’s user error. (Forgetting to pause when switching basins, etc) But I do want to speak on one issue I’ve been having. Sometimes, it’s impossible to pull up resort info. Right now, if I try to search for any resort, no results will be listed. It’s almost as if the app is tying resort searches to your current location or something. I hope it gets fixed soon bc I’d like to bookmark resort pages to ogle over places to consider for next ski season.

Love this app
My husband and I just started snowboarding and we are just wrapping up our second season. We got slopes premium this year and are loving it. I set a goal for myself to increase my speed and it was so helpful to be able to watch my top speed and average speeds go up throughout the season. It was also fun to compete with my husband about who was faster. (For the record, it’s me 😉) it is also helpful when we split up with our girls and can see where each other are on the mountain. I like to replay my day at the end of the day and see where on the mountain my highest speeds are. We will definitely be using it next year! I have recommended it to several friends already.

Unsure if I did something wrong….yes user error
Editing because it was my error in an input. Once I changed the input information, it gave me the information I was looking for. The season is now over, so will definitely subscribe next time. Would love to see my progress.
I used my slopes app for the first time today. It only logged me as 1 for about 2 hours worth of snowboarding. I thought maybe I need to stop each time I got to the bottom, but the app says it detects lifts. I only got recorded for 2 runs and 10 minutes of boarding and 2 1/2 hours on the lifts. I feel like maybe I did something wrong, but I’m not sure what.

Absolutely awesome!
Very nice application, giving you exactly what you need to log your rides. You can have a full day on the mountain, listening to music and play around without draining the battery, the accuracy is amazing and with the alerts you simply can’t forget to launch it! Bonus with notifications is that you get alerted even during summer when you are close to a slope so if you like hiking you can hike around the pistes. It would be awesome if you could locate other users in the same mountain using the app. It would also be great if you could export the daily runs on a video in order to be able to share the 3D view with friends even if they don’t use the app. Awesome work, keep it up!!

Best tracker, with excellent support.
I have used Slopes for several years now and it continues to keep all its strengths. Easy to use, especially on the Apple Watch, low battery drain, nicely presented results. However I mainly wanted to talk about the level of support. A few years ago I had some issue with the database and sent an email at about 10pm Eastern. I then emailed real time with Curtis the developer who fixed the issue that night before heading out skiing the next day. He probably can’t guarantee that level of response for everyone, but the other day I had a minor issue that turned out to be mainly my fault. The support staff (now more than just Curtis) responded quickly and accurately. Try that with some huge company.

Elegantly executed, feature packed
If Apple made a ski app... This is by faar the best ski tracking app just bursting at the seams with well executed, cool features. The way your lifts and runs are shown on a scrub bar with haptic feedback is beyond elegant and one touch operation while on the mountain couldn't be easier.
Great functionality like showing the photos you took during the day and connecting with friends are available even without premium. Premium pass brings the most cutting edge features like AR which are very impressive, if a little awkward to use. Premium can be bought for just a week at a time too which is great for that one annual ski trip. Look no further 🎿💙

Thank you for the awesome review 🥰
Love this app!
Been using Slopes for years and love it! Great to look back on your day and being able to add notes means you never forget the day. The flexibility of the passes are great too, this year only a shot week of riding so opted for day passes, previously got the season pass as did a couple of 8 day
Weeks in the season. It’s great that there are additions to the app, means that the charges are going into development not just someone’s pockets. Customer service is excellent too, ask a question and super quick response! Thanks all!!

Perfect skiing app
This is a terrific app for tracking your snow miles, speed, effort over a whole holiday and comparing your stats with friends. I had a couple of free passes for the premium access, and I’ll definitely be buying a week’s premium pass next time I go - the ability to see and review each run after the fact is a great feature. The app worked seamlessly with my Apple Watch and the fitness app too, meaning I got credit for my exertions.
First rate app - great job!
