About
SKI SMARTER. FIND EMPTY RUNS IN REAL TIME.
Tired of standing in 20-minute lift lines while the next chair over is empty? Sick of skiing down to find a run bumper-to-bumper with snowplowers? SkiFlow shows you live traffic on every run and every lift at your resort — so you can spend less time in crowds and more time skiing fresh snow.
HOW IT WORKS
SkiFlow uses anonymous, opt-in location data from other skiers on the mountain to build a real-time heatmap of crowd density. Green runs are empty. Red runs are packed. It's that simple.
KEY FEATURES
REAL-TIME TRAFFIC HEATMAP
Color-coded overlay on the map of your ski resort, updated every 30 seconds from opted-in skiers on the mountain.
LIVE LIFT STATUS + WAIT TIMES
See every lift's open/closed/on-hold status in real time. Crowd-sourced wait time reports color-coded green (under 5 min) to red (15+ min).
7-DAY SNOW FORECAST + BUSY PREDICTION
Hourly NWS snow totals for the next 24h and 72h, plus a predicted busy-ness score for each of the next 7 forecast periods — so you can pick the least-crowded day to ski.
FAVORITE RUNS + PUSH ALERTS
Save your favorite runs. Get a push notification when a favorited run drops to light-crowd density — perfect for timing a return to a run that was packed earlier.
PERSONAL STATS
Track how many days you've skied, which resorts you've visited, and when. All stored on-device only — we never upload your stats.
COMPARE RESORTS
See all resorts ranked by current crowd density in one screen. IKON / Epic Pass holders: ski the less-crowded resort on a busy Saturday.
HISTORICAL HEATMAPS
Swipe the time slider to see crowd patterns from past days.
WORKS OFFLINE
The last-known heatmap, lift statuses, and resort list are cached locally. The app shows a banner if you lose signal on the mountain.
NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED
Sign in anonymously in one tap. No name, no email, no phone number needed.
BATTERY-CONSCIOUS
Smart location sampling lets you track a full ski day without killing your battery.
80+ RESORTS WORLDWIDE
Major resorts across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. New resorts added regularly.
HOW YOUR LOCATION IS HANDLED
SkiFlow uses a strict data minimization model for location data:
- Raw GPS coordinates are deleted from our servers within 30 seconds
- You are identified only by a random anonymous ID
- No individual position is ever shown to another user
- Location is aggregated into 50-meter grid cells before display
- Stop contributing location data any time from Settings
- Delete your anonymous account and all associated data with one tap
WHO IT'S FOR
Recreational skiers and snowboarders who want to ski smarter. Whether you're chasing untracked powder, trying to avoid the lunch-rush bottleneck, or planning a family day with kids who hate waiting in line — SkiFlow helps you make better decisions in real time.
