### 3/5 — Cams not working?

*2023-12-21, version 5.21*

The Lower dynamite cam is dated from Sept.. , some others are a few days old at times… also would be nice to see the Baja grill area shot they used to show that included the WB liftline…

### 3/5 — Not completely compatible with iPhone 11

*2019-12-22, version 5.15.3*

This app is great overall but I am disappointed that it doesn’t show your runs and speeds tracked on the trail map for iPhone 11. My boyfriend with an iPhone X is able to see all of his runs plotted on the trail map with speeds for each area of the run but this did not work for me or my friend with the 11s. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Post too late

*2019-02-27, version 5.15.1*

When it is snowing, I want to know by 7what to expect .  How much snow did you get over night?  Do you expect delays should be posted by 8.  People get really upset if they make the drive, after they checked your app, only to find out you are not planning to open grandveiw or west bowl .  Agreed that sometimes you just don’t know.  However, most of the time you know

### 4/5 — Good but could be great

*2019-02-16, version 5.15.1*

I appreciate having the ski patrol summon button. Hope it doesn’t get misused. It would be great to get pinged when lifts open or better yet when the are about to open. But I get that the herd force will be strong if that were to exist. But it sure would help to know when you’ll open on days like Feb 15 and other heavy powder days when you need extra time to open.

### 5/5 — Family friendly resort.  .

*2018-12-26, version 5.15.1*

Plenty of ski terrain.   From beginner to black diamond

### 5/5 — My first choice of sky areas.

*2018-12-01, version 5.15.0*

Love this app. Living just 1 1/2 Horus from Sierra Ski I regularly open this app to see the snow pack, the current and daily weather, the lifts and trails open. 
I’ve skied exclusively Sierra for decades. Love the desire to help from all employees and have No desire to go to other ski areas. 
The up to the minute photos are really helpful for making decisions to head up or not.  Then if I do, it’s two McDonald’s breakfast burritos and I’m headed up the Mt.

### 5/5 — J

*2018-03-31, version 5.13.0*

Great App. New snow report should tell base and top amounts. Longer forecast could help us who are far away. Love the Sierra, keep up the good work : D

### 5/5 — Very friendly place with great deal

*2018-03-23, version 5.13.0*

Great place to ski with great price!

### 5/5 — Coolest tracking app ever

*2018-01-02, version 5.13.0*

I'm not huge on social media but I love this app for the fact I can track my days on the mountain and see who else is riding. The mph is rad too.

### 5/5 — Greatest app ever

*2017-11-29, version 5.10.8*

The webcams are great but some won’t update. Other than that it’s amazing and I use it all the time

### 5/5 — Stoked!

*2017-11-25, version 5.10.8*

I love this app and all the alerts for fresh powder. I also am obsessed with the mountain cams. Thanks Sierra!

### 5/5 — Great place and great app

*2017-04-04, version 5.10.8*

No complaints the app works flawlessly and I like the speed tracker.

### 3/5 — Tracking still not working.

*2017-02-06, version 5.10.7*

I love being able to check lift status etc. But the tracking still shows me jumping all over the place outside the resort.

### 5/5 — Works great for me!

*2017-01-11, version 5.10.5*

All features I used so far worked great. Not sure how accurate the numbers are but it's great for general information about your day at the mountain. 
If you need more accurate data, get a Garmin or some other dedicated GPS device. 
For what this app is I think it's great!

### 1/5 — Webcams

*2024-04-19, version 5.21*

Unfortunately the Sierra At Tahoe Webcams have not worked since 2017. They used to update pictures every 15 minutes, up until 2017, now they just stay fixed on one photograph all day.

### 1/5 — I don’t have Facebook

*2021-03-29, version 5.17*

I refuse to do the whole social networking thing. Why does having a FB account matter? Why are non-FB users excluded from getting full use of this app? I just wanted to be able to pull up the QR code for my lift ticket; guess I have to print it out after all.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t update cams.

*2020-01-11, version 5.15.3*

The cams are all from different days and some are weeks old. Kind of defeats the purpose of the app if it can’t provide accurate information.

### 1/5 — For Facebook users only!?!

*2019-12-01, version 5.15.2*

If you or your family and friends don’t have Facebook then this app is useless. It appears you must have It to create an account.

### 1/5 — Cameras do not work

*2014-12-06, version 4.0.1*

Unfortunately, cameras are not updated and I downloaded the App mostly for that reason. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — It's not working!

*2014-12-05, version 4.0.1*

Love Sierra, but come on get your cams working!!!

### 1/5 — Frozen webcams

*2014-12-02, version 4.0.1*

The only reason I use this app is for the webcams, but since the update the camera have been frozen on the same images for 2 days.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2012-12-09, version 3.1.1*

Has the potential to be great bit sadly falls flat. The app does not seem to recognize that I'm actually at the resort, and requires me to be here in order to: 1. Report Speed and elevation. 2. Find friends. 3. Checkin via fb. In addition the live cams are not being updated. Unless it really does get dark at 1:30 pm these days. 

Fix all this and I'll reconsider my 1 star rating.

### 2/5 — FB Integration Non Functional

*2025-12-30, version 5.21*

It seems like the FB integration isn’t working, meaning half of the app features don’t work.

### 2/5 — App needs more attention

*2017-02-07, version 5.10.7*

Overall, it isn't the worst app for a ski resort, but...here are some of my gripes:
1) there are hardly any deals posted ever; 
2) the blog wall is very infrequently updated; 
3) the web cams are often offline or not a current feed; 
4) the videos on the interactive trail map are random, inconsistent in quality and length, and pointless; 
5) notifications are days or even weeks apart; and
6) the video report is also random and provides no information or purpose whatsoever.

Some things I would like to see are:
1) integration with CalTrans/CHP road information & traffic cams;
2) more frequent social media updates...hours apart, not days or weeks;
3) food menus and "ski-ahead" online ordering; and 
4) "flash sales" of food/beverages/apparel/buddy passes, utilizing app & mobile push notifications and email blasts, and lift digital signage, etc.

Our family are season pass holders and Sierra at Tahoe is our favorite place to ski...their app functionality and utilization just needs to catch up with the quality of the facility and the people that make Sierra a must-go destination.

*2026-01-31, version 5.21*

App ls cool

### 5/5 — Love It

*2026-01-05, version 5.21*

I have been skiing at Sierra for years. Great mountain. Closest to Sacramento. People are the best.

### 5/5 — Ski Mecca

*2024-03-13, version 5.21*

Love this place !!

### 5/5 — Awesome Resort

*2021-01-01, version 5.17*

I’ve been skiing at Sierra at Tahoe for 15 years. As an advanced skier the mountain gives me plenty of challenging slopes. Skiing in the trees is also amazing. For the beginner and intermediate skier there are plenty of great slopes for you. I raised my kids here on the slopes. It is a great family resort.

### 5/5 — Good Stuff Maynard

*2020-03-13, version 5.16*

Love me some fresh pow pow on the backside & West Bowl. Cool vibe at Baja. Great coffe shack upstairs at the main lodge.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2020-02-14, version 5.16*

I love going here I can see the map and cam and snow am 9 I have a season pass but not a Facebook account I wish I could scan my season pass

### 5/5 — Good Care

*2020-01-12, version 5.15.3*

I received good care yesterday from ski patrol and other Sierra staff after I caught an edge and launched and then hit my head near the bottom of Lower Powderhorn.

### 5/5 — Big season

*2019-12-06, version 5.15.2*

Do you think this going to be a bigger season than 2016-2017 and 2018-2019?

### 5/5 — Glad you Made an app, but wish it worked better

*2019-12-03, version 5.15.2*

It’s still pretty buggy. I can’t track my runs and check in didn’t work at first.  But there is tons of potential. there will be growing pains and I k on it will get better

### 5/5 — Best Tahoe Ski Resort

*2019-01-04, version 5.15.1*

Sierra is by far the best ski resort in the Tahoe area. It is accessible, family friendly, with great, varied terrain.
