I’m not certain if the app itself is improved or the iOS version is just better. It worked poorly on my Note last season, but it’s been nearly perfect on the XS Max. The main functionality is essentially their website in app form. It’s a bit quicker to access snow reports and other items through the app, as it is laid out in a more user friendly way. The stat tracker is what has been far improved. Last season it would track only part of my day, if at all. Even the runs that were tracked, they would be some of the wrong ones. Last weekend, every lift and every run was tracked exactly, over both days we skied.

I haven’t been back to Copper Mountain since 2017, but one thing I definitely remembered was the Sherpa app. Tracked statistics for you and gave you location based audio tips. So when approaching a fork in the trail it would give you a brief description of the options. Small trivia about the resort and food and beverage options. It was such a different way of skiing and I loved it. So when getting ready for my return to Copper this season I looked into the resorts new app. It is essentially the website in app form, but does include stat tracking and now friend finder which allows you to create a group and see where your people are on the mountain. All ready to go and was so disappointed the audio functions were completely gone. Stats are comparable to the old app but I sure do miss the tips. Hopefully they bring that functionality back in the future.

The best part is tracking what I have skied through the day. The second best is tracking wherey ski buddies are on the map. Sometimes I use the map but there are so many maps around it's easier to look on the chair lift bar. It helps me on where to go to meet them or if they have gone inside. I don't use it to buy anything. I think you will find it makes your ski day more fun and you can compare one day to the next and one season to the last

Using the copper app and friend finder while skiing made keeping track of the group fun and easy. The GPS system kept very close to actual time so it was easy to head off the kids on the hill and they were headed to a different lift. Very fun to see everybody in your group as they move around the mountain and compare stats at the end of the day. The email that was sent to us all at the end of the day was very accurate and allowed for group comparisons. Very user-friendly app and fun to use. Thank you Copper Mountain!!!
