Take your snow days to the next level! Uncover detailed stats (and bragging rights) about your days skiing and snowboarding, ride with friends, log your memories, and replay your winter adventures together. Get the best ski tracking experience on iPhone and Apple Watch!

SMART RECORDING
Select your activity, and Slopes will figure out everything in the background (even what resort you're at, assuming you have cell reception). You can choose from ski, snowboard, monoski, sitski, telemark, and more. Slopes will automatically detect uphill, lifts, and runs for you all day long.

FIND YOUR FRIENDS ON THE MOUNTAIN
With live location on the recording screen, you can easily find each other! Location sharing is privacy-focused; you can always turn it on and off.

INTERACTIVE RESORT MAPS (Premium)
Navigate resorts with ease in 2D or 3D. See which run you or your friends are on and where to go next. Available for over 450 resorts in the US, Canada, the European Alps, Australia, New Zealand, Japan.

**New: SEARCH ON MAPS
Find any trail, lift, the bathroom, and more. Premium: check difficulty and the elevation profile for a run or the average time up for a lift.
Free Mode: On many North American resorts, we now show on-mountain facilities such as bathrooms, food, and, most importantly, ski patrol locations.

**New: TRIP PLANNING & CONDITIONS
Plan upcoming trips and invite your friends to them to share in the hype. Trips let you keep tabs on resort conditions, who's coming or not, and who else was invited, all in one central place. Before you head up the mountain, check what other riders say about a resort's snow quality. While on the mountain, location sharing will automatically work with everyone on the trip - even the participants not on your friend list in Slopes.

DETAILED STATISTICS
Uncover a wealth of information about your performance, speed, vertical, run times, and more. Find out how good you are and how you're getting even better, season-over-season.

What’s New

Version 2024.7

(2024.7 is a quick fix for 2024.6 that broke some localized strings)

Oh boy, this is a big one!

- New card-based UI that keeps the map of your data always visible (and more interactive):
- Logbook now shows everywhere you've visited. Fill that map with pins!
- That map at the top of the Resorts tab is (finally) interactive. Explore resorts around the world, and tap to open them.
- New map on the Friends tab showing everywhere your friends have visited this season (anonymously)
- This also means Resorts + Friends tabs finally come to iPad. iPad should mirror iPhone features (almost) perfectly going forward.

- Lots of UI improvements along with the refreshed design, such as:
- Tried to move the stats we all care about higher on the screens, so less scrolling.
- The exact time is now displayed on the timeline screen as your scroll.
- Made favorite resorts + favorite recordings more obvious.
- Updated design for the Friends tab, making it easier to get a feel for the leaderboards, especially if you have lots of friends.

- New lifetime & season summary screens. More stats! More data! Trend charts to visualize your progress season over season (sorry it took me so long to replace that "wrote it in a night because a family I met on a lift really wanted it" Compare table. These charts are soooo much better).

- In prep for Apple Intelligence, much better support for Siri + Shortcuts + App Intents:
- Trigger pause / resume / end via Shortcuts.
- Get a summary of your in-progress recording's stats, a specific stat, or details about your last run via Siri & Shortcuts.
- Get a list of nearby resorts for Shortcuts, and feed them into Shortcuts to get their forecast, conditions, or just open them in Slopes.
- Control Center widget to start recording (or just so you can have skiis or a snowboard icon on your lock screen, ha).

- Redesigned snow forecast widget (sorry for the confusion metric users, those numbers were always CM of snow, not tempature). This widget is now also available on Watch.
- Support for iOS 18's new dark mode and tinted icons, and a new alternate icon inspired by the 90's web.
- Support for iOS 18's tintable widgets.
- Support for watchOS 11's Double Tap with Watch Ultra. Double Tap to swap between stats while recording.
- Changed the "Activity" widget on Apple Watch to fit in better with the Smart Stack.
- All the resorts Slopes knows about are now sent to Spotlight, so when you search on-device for a resort you'll get the option to open it in Slopes (or trigger recent shortcuts).
- Rewrote the resorts screen to more intelligently surface resorts based on favorites, trips, nearby, and more. Less scrolling, hopefully, to see the resort you likely want.

- Fix missing commas for some stats when they'd get above 1,000.
- Fix for widgets where resort names starting with "The" might get cut off.

This release requires iOS 16.1 or higher (which means iPhone 8 or newer, don't worry), and watchOS 9 or higher.

Work on this release started in late February, and we *still* didn't get to everything we wanted done. Trail map download + management will be coming back (much improved) in the season kickoff release in November, along with a ton of other stuff that wasn't quite ready yet.

Undisputed Best Mountain App

I started using this app in 2018. I can’t compare it to other mountain apps, but I still wouldn’t switch regardless. It works perfectly with your watch or phone. The best way to review this is to tell you how it works on a typical snow day. 1. I arrive at the lift and open the “Slopes” app on my Apple Watch 2. It automatically knows what mountain you are on, so you just select your activity: —— Downhill: snowboard / skis / telemark skis / monoski /sitski / snowbike / other. —— Backcountry: skis / snowboard / splitboard / other —— Other Winter Sports 3. The app will start tracking your session, and you can put your phone away or cover your watch in your sleeve for the rest of your day. Optional Lunch: If you want to take lunch, open the app on your phone/watch and hit the pause button for a specified time or manually resume it. 4. At the end of the day, you tap the checkered flag, and it will load all your stats for the day. Stats: - # of Runs - Total Vertical - Total Time - Total Distance - Average Speed - Top Speed - Tallest Run - Peak Altitude - Longest Run Extra: if you connect your watch, it tracks your health. - Average BPM on runs - Max BPM - KCAL burned 5. Go home after your trip and open the app to see All Lifetime Stats. You will see the best scores for each category out of all your days on the mountain. BEST APP FOR THE MOUNTAIN

Works on my iPhone 6 again!

At the start of the ski season, I tried to use Slopes, but iOS had offloaded it since I hadn’t used it during the off-season. I couldn’t get it to download again and after several tries, finally discovered that it now only works on iOS 13 and up. The developer claims you can keep using the old version, but if you have to reinstall, you can’t get the old one back. Now switching to a competitor that still supports iOS 12. As a developer myself, it’s generally a good idea to support at least the previous iOS version.

Update: After the developer contacted me, I was able to reinstall an older version of the app. Apple did not make this easy to find. I added two more stars due to the developer’s prompt response. However, I would still like to see support for at least one iOS version back for new updates. Most apps I checked still support back to iOS 10.

Update 2: The developer supports iOS 12 again! Greatly appreciated and definitely noticed performance improvements and less battery drain. Thanks again for making this change!

Developer Response ,

Hey Starkiller, you can totally still use it with the 6 (since you previously downloaded it)! Apple just doesn't make that 100% clear how. In the App Store go to the Updates tab, and you'll see the "Purchased" option at the top. Hit that and find Slopes in the list. Apple lets you download older versions of apps as long as the developer approves it. I made sure to keep a version around for people on 12. I've got ya covered.

Update: I went ahead and put in a lot of work to retrofit iOS 12 support into Slopes, meeting your request to support one version older of iOS. Hope you enjoy all the new goodies!

Not only unreliable, but disappointing

I was so excited to start using this app, but from day one have had problems. The primary issue is that you can get through an entire day of runs, hitting speeds you wanted recorded, making tracks you wanted to review, understanding the vertical feet that you dropped, etc. This app is not only unreliable, which unto itself you might simply say “oh well, not a great app“, but this app actually is disappointing because after an exciting day on the slopes you sit down, open your pocket, take out the app and take a look at it - and it simply says “no GPS data recorded”. After the first time this happened I read the troubleshooting guide and it said that you needed to make sure you had a reliable connection. Next time I confirmed that I did (my other apps all recorded). Next time GPS data didn’t record I was told it was likely do to keeping the app in an outside pocket where the phone got cold - keep it in an inside pocket to ensure warmth and then it will record your GPS location - so I did. It still did not work. Today I skied at Breck in 38° sunny weather and finished the day, looked at the device, and it said “no GPS data recorded“. I would be OK if an app simply didn’t work, but when you’re so excited to see how you ripped down the mountain side, and this app, let you down, makes you realize that you need to start looking for other apps. I would not waste my time with this app.

Developer Response ,

Hey Jeffrey, I'm really sad to read this review. I know how disappointing it would have been to find that nothing had been recorded at the end of a great day. It sounds like you did all the right things to improve GPS accuracy and it should have worked, unless there's some kind of permissions issue. It's not clear if you've been in touch with customer support already, but either way, if you'd like to give us another chance please send us a message from within the app via the Account tab -> Help & Support for the attention of Emma. This will send us some debug logs that show us what's going wrong so we can get it working for you. It's also possible that that recording was in fact backed up and can be recovered too.
