### 3/5 — Updates?

*2024-02-24, version 3.0.323*

This app needs an update. Heaps of resorts have added lifts and runs. Also needs some of the smaller hills in Alaska and northern bc Canada

### 1/5 — Time

*2024-01-14, version 3.0.323*

Doesn't read time correctly and takes minutes and hours away after being boarding all day... I boarded for 5 hours for the last 4 days and only gave 2 hours on mountian...

### 5/5 — Great app for skiing with friends or family

*2023-07-07, version 3.0.323*

This is a very good app for hitting the slopes with friends or family. You can message them, see where they are and look at the daily leaderboard. It measures stats well too.

### 5/5 — See your resort and view the details for each run

*2021-12-08, version 3.0.16*

In addition to tracking your runs, SnowZat provides a 3-D map of your resort. Zoom in on specific runs or lifts and tap on them to see the details. During the long dry summer, I’d look at the maps of various mountains and check out the details for various runs. It is interesting to see how some mountains categorize one run as black diamond while others categorize an equivalent run as blue intermediate.

Update Dec 7 2021:
Please consider putting the resort Ski Patrol number on the app for whatever mountain the app user is visiting that day. Even better- a button to call Ski Patrol in the event of an emergency. It is surprisingly common for bystanders to stand around an injured skier with no idea how to contact Ski Patrol and request help. 

Great app! It looks like California resorts will finally get skiable snow next week.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-07-03, version 3.0.312*

### 5/5 — Best snow tracker and race

*2020-06-27, version 3.0.300*

Very good

### 5/5 — GREAT SKI/Snowboard App

*2020-01-25, version 3.0.263*

Sooo highly recommend this app for those who like to track their runs and progress through the day! Also was a great tool for seeing where I was while skiing the backside of any mtn

### 5/5 — Best snow app out there with a few drawbacks!

*2019-09-29, version 3.0.243*

Best snow app hands down!

A lot of awesome features such as tracking friends, ski/snowboarding report, and coins earning/spending system.

The only issue I’m having is this app drains battery pretty fast! I understand gps is required while this app running in the background. An Apple Watch app could be a solution maybe? 

Thanks for developing such an awesome app!
