### 1/5 — Outdated

*2026-04-05, version 17.0*

After having to make an account, delete the app because it didn't work, have two separate codes sent to my email I finally logged in. And it says to use the Ikon app this one is outdated.

### 1/5 — Bring back this app, the Ikon app sucks

*2026-01-04, version 17.0*

So palisades decided to discontinue this app in favor of just using Ikon’s app. Please bring it back. We lost ability to get notification about important updates like lifts opening or closing due to wind, etc. we lost ability to be able to know exactly where on the map a specific trail is, and we lost all the unique achievements that made tracking so fun and challenging. Such a disappointment!

### 2/5 — Inaccurate and not kept current

*2025-11-17, version 16.1*

This app could be excellent but lax attention to keeping information current makes it barely worthwhile. Alterra is apparently so focused on squeezing every penny out of its properties that it can’t be bothered to spend the funds to keep even its webcam feeds current, and don’t get me started on its inaccurate reporting on which ski runs have neen groomed. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Sherwood chairlift stupid

*2025-04-21, version 16.0.3*

I just came over to alpine from palisades on the base to base gondola ride and that takes about 15 min each way, I came over excited to ride Sherwood only to find that tree line top is closed. And I can’t access Sherwood. On the app however it showed that Sherwood was open and tree line top was open so I could access Sherwood, it also showed the shuttle was not running to Sherwood. Please make it more clear if top lifts are closed and if I have to board a shuttle to get there. I am not one to complain but it just wasted 30 min riding base to base!

### 5/5 — Loved the Tracking your friends feature!!

*2025-03-10, version 16.0.2*

Hit up Palisades for the first time with a few people and had an absolute blast! The app had a big part in that too as navigation would’ve been hopeless without it. The ability to track your friends on the mountain was super useful for regrouping and the built in achievement feature definitely makes me want to come back. I can tell that the team has a ton of passion for the project and it shows!!

### 2/5 — Hey, come on, I like the new map. It was great.

*2025-03-04, version 16.0.2*

why give it to us and collect all this feedback and then just take it away with no option to turn it back on? yet another administrative misfire.

### 3/5 — Great App Huge battery Drain

*2025-02-18, version 16.0.1*

Love the app but when you turn on the GPS this thing drains the battery faster than a flushed toilet.  Fix it please.  I know others have the issue.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-01-04, version 16.0.1*

I’m constantly getting a “updated: (null)” error. Also the ops updates are all showing the timestamp “1 min ago”. I tried deleting and reinstalling. Nothing worked

### 4/5 — Live Webcams?

*2025-01-04, version 16.0.1*

Need to enable app to show webcams as live video

### 4/5 — Quality has fallen way off

*2024-12-19, version 16.0.1*

This app used to be state of the art but so far in the 2024-25 season the info for lifts and runs has become haphazard at best. On the Palisades side they just don’t reliably list which runs are open and if open, which runs are groomed. For example, they currently list the Granite Chief lift as open but all runs are shown to be closed. The Alpine side seems to be still good, so whomever is responsible for updating the Palisades side needs a kick in the pants.
