Snowbird Resort 4+

Bug Report

This app is amazing. My family and friends love it. However, there are people on the leaderboard who register 40 TOTAL LIFTS in a single day. I’ve done the math, and this is practically impossible. Snowbird is open from 9am - 4:00pm. This is 420 minutes. Assuming you do Peruvian the entire day, an 8 minute chair ride 40 times is 320 minutes. That gives you 100 minutes exactly to do 40 runs, averaging 2.5 minutes per run. This also means there are 0 breaks for stopping, no bathroom breaks, no lunch breaks. Even if you did Wilbere from 8:30-9 and 4-4:30 it still just isn’t possible for someone to sustain that speed and energy for a whole day, let alone the whole season.

There’s a bug in the system counting extra vertical feet / lifts. And the vert feet doesn’t add up with the lifts. Would be AWESOME if you guys could check out and fix the bug, considering people actually win prizes end of year for these stats!

Positives are you can track and meet up with family and friends and see all the runs you did, even the time of day and what lift it’s from. That’s super cool this year! LOVE it

Would otherwise be a 5 star app <3

Avoid the lines

I’m a big fan of the lift wait times. I would always stress about heading over to mineral when it opened after a storm as I didn’t know if everyone would head there at the same time causing a clog to get back to the frontside, now I can check the app and make an informed decision.

I also love tracking in a group. I often ski with my dad and poke into the trees while he skis the groomers and we often had trouble timing up when we decided to wait for each other at the bottom vs riding another lift to catch up on the next lift up. Now we can watch each other and don’t waste time waiting around hoping the other person hasn’t already rode up.

This makes a great mountain even better.

Doesn’t appear to save state between phones

Tracking feature is nice for friends. Now I track using Strava, Ski Tracks and this. Switching to a new phone, it doesn’t appear to load state after “registering” on a new phone and I’ve lost my previous stats.
