1. [R16] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Tracking is buggy: Many times I have started the day with tracking on only to find mid day that it failed to collect any stats. Only fix seems to be force quit app and restart.
2. [R18] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Don’t expect much: Where do I start…. What a frustrating app! I had it open from a day earlier, and said it was still tracking, but it wasn’t. Lost an entire day of stats. Need to blow away the app. Each night. And be prepared to login again each time, particularly frustrating when you’re all geared up and it won’t recognize your face. And don’t get me started when it won’t start tracking becaus
3. [R24] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Unreliable: Tracking works only when the app feels like it. About 1 day out of 4 it decides I’m not “authorized” to track. And before you ask, my iPhone is always up to date. The app is (still) simply not good enough for prime time.
4. [R27] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US What are they doing?: This app got significantly worse for the 2025-2026 season. The tracking barely ever works and it is way more complicated to track with a group - to the point where I never track on Ikon anymore. The layout is more difficult to navigate and I always get thrown error messages. Additionally, I can never select resorts in my wallet so I can’t use my mountain credits. These frauds
5. [R7] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Horrible: Clunky, tries to be all things and isn’t. Not geared to how customers want their information.
6. [R9] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Meh - has gotten worse: This app used to be so perfect. Maybe two years ago was the peak? This year is the worst it’s been. Generally not a helpful app anymore other than friend tracking. It’s no longer intuitive. It’s clunky and hard to figure out. I would like to easily access the snow report, maps, and other relevant info for a ski mountain but I feel like the stuff is either not there anymore
7. [R10] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Ikon pass app review: The latest UI is complete garbage. The previous UI was bad and you somehow made it worse. There is literally no way to renew my pass on the app. I tap one of the buttons to renew, then choose the pass, and I go to some weird renew page that’s trying to sell me on the pass. Bro! I already said I wanted it, why are you trying to sell me it!? Then I’m somehow on step 1 of 5 and
8. [R11] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Do better: The app was never perfect and that’s okay. This season with the new updates it sucks. I minored in graphic design an I can’t figure out how to stop tracking let alone navigate the app. You have good data but get someone who can build your UI
9. [R1] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US No trail maps???: The app seems to have removed the ability to view trail maps at Palisades, at least in the offseason, replacing it with only their awful “3D” map that you could get a better version of in any other all-purpose mapping app. The only thing I used this app for was trail maps. Is this someone’s idea of a joke?
10. [R2] Ikon Pass 5/5 · US Open runs filter: I decided to try Ikon Pass instead of Epic Pass this year, and overall I really like the app. The interface is clean, easy to use, and everything feels well designed. The only major downside for me is that I can’t filter or clearly see open runs and lifts directly on the map. In the Epic app, this feature is very convenient and makes a big difference. With Ikon, I often have to
11. [R6] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Ski App - But Defaults to Non-Ski Map? 🥴: App is ok, it doesnt seem to want to save favorite mountains. Biggest complaint is it always defaults to the map of the resort which is NOT the trail map. Can’t think of a reason why this would be except Alterra wanting everyone to know where to buy expensive F&B. Would really like to see this change to default to trail map.
12. [R15] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Good, but not as good as the previous Palisades app: On the plus side, this app has all the key information skiers need, including which lifts are open and scheduled, trails open and closed, parking info, and even lift wait times, although that last info is oddly hard to find as it's only showed on the map in Trails mode, which is not the default. The map in the default Village mode is useless to
13. [R13] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Unable to add favorites: Since the latest update, adding favorites doesn’t stick after you close and reopen the app
14. [R30] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Broken update: Would be cool if I could still see my favorites and credits
15. [R41] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Unreliable: Instead of saving my favorite destinations after I pick them on the app, I have to re-enter my favorite destinations EVERY time I open the app.
16. [R14] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US No way to opt out of notification spam: No ikon I already paid you $1000s, do not continue to pummel me with advertisements. Insulting.
17. [R29] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Marketing Notifications: No way to turn off marketing notifications
18. [R32] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Significant Downgrade: Replaced the palisades app, which provided all the same features without tons of ads and an absolutely useless tracking system. Use slopes for tracking. Ikon is only useful for monitoring which lifts are open. The lift wait times are basically useless as well.
19. [R48] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Unreliable: This app is complete trash. All it is more advertising for the company that is Ikon. The tracking function has failed on me multiple times. The weather functions are not updated frequently the information they provide is never accurate, the webcams never show anything. Ive tried to be a good sport about the these behemoth companies buying up every damn piece of the land with a hill on
20. [R3] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Meh: It’s a shame. I get why they combined all the resort apps into one. But there was so much more local flavor to the apps when they were independent. Now I just stick to Slopes for tracking my skiing and let it connect back to IKON to record my stats for the local stuff and home bragging rights.
21. [R17] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Kinda Sucks: I’ve come to the conclusion that the Ikon Pass app kind of sucks. I was forced to move to this app versus the individual resort apps which makes sense. But I think the developers under delivered on this one. Just take a few minutes and check out the OnTheSnow app and you’ll see the difference. The at-a-glance view on Ikon doesn’t really give you the stuff you want to see at a glance s
22. [R25] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Go back to palisades app: The old palisades app was so much better more clear more accurate and much easier to operate this is much more complicated and I had a lot of trouble getting my pass on it presents a good idea but it does not go into same detail as other apps my relative calls it “a joke”
23. [R31] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Not as good as the mountain specific apps: It takes 8 clicks to see what used to take 2 clicks to see
24. [R4] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Snow report is trash: They ruined the weather forecasting on the squaw app, these people in charge are absolute clowns
25. [R43] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Not good: They never updated anything and it’s basically useless.
26. [R20] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Have to update the app almost every day: Title says it all. Fix it, Ikon
27. [R22] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Whats going on with this app?: And why do i have to keep updating my app everyday?
28. [R36] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Update: Once updated, it killed tracking. Very disappointing. Tried tracking on Steamboat app 1st 2 days of the season. That didn’t work. Found out later that had to use Ikon app. Then, yesterday I was forced to update the app. Once updated any attempt to track told me I was not a registered user. 👎
29. [R52] My Epic 5/5 · US Helpful: This app shows me the best time for when I should go to the mountain. By saying the snow fall and what’s open. 🥹
30. [R55] My Epic 5/5 · US Epic has been one of the only joys to my life: Epic makes my life so easier to go skiing and that’s my favorite thing. The app helps me know what trails to go on before I go on the mountains and shows me cool ideas to go for ski checks.
31. [R63] My Epic 5/5 · US Love this!: So convenient to check out what runs are open in my favorite resorts.
32. [R69] Slopes 5/5 · US Very good, easy to use: Slopes is very good at doing what it’s made to do which is tracking runs speed and vertical. Its support is very good and responded to my email in 15 minutes.
33. [R71] Slopes 5/5 · US Such a good app with so much potential: So I’m a ski racer, and I have used this app this year after some recommendations from friends, and wow! It has everything I need, like speed, and I can see where my friends are on the hill. Some things that could be added to help make it a better experience, would be to add photos for when your on a trip, so that everybody can share photos, make it so there
34. [R80] Kakao T 5/5 · US Good for foreigners: This app works really well for taxis. I use the k.ride one for foreigners. It’s extremely easy and I’ve had no problem with payments or overcharges. It works well for e-bikes too.
35. [R97] Sun Valley Resort 5/5 · US Slayyyy: The sun valley mountain is overall amazing we go there every year and the town is also amazing

38. [R103] Sun Valley Resort 5/5 · US SV Lover: Love all the mountain updates. Do wish the run tracker was still available on the app.
39. [R107] Ski Utah Snow Report 5/5 · US Great app for great resorts: All the best of Utah powder condensed into one website. Easy to navigate and provides solid information and up to date snow reports.
40. [R108] Ski Utah Snow Report 3/5 · US Good app: The app has is well organized. Some the trail cam stuff doesn’t work very well but the rest of the app provides accurate information.
41. [R109] Ski Utah Snow Report 5/5 · US Pow alerts: We didn’t have much use for the powder alerts this last season, but this app is super clutch. Have used it for years, through the good and bad. A loyal and constant companion, and a snow day hasn’t gone by without this app. Please pray for snow.
42. [R110] Ski Utah Snow Report 5/5 · US Go to source: The most thorough, complete, accurate and useful app for knowing just about anything and everything to do with skiing in Utah. This is the one source you need.
