1. [R1] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Wildly innacurate: Will say 11+ inches when the resort itself is predicting 3 inches. ?? Unreliable, better off with other sources
2. [R7] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US What is going on with the accuracy: The info provided in the app is inaccurate. Doesn’t make it very useful if I have to double check everything using other weather tools and cross check on individual resort websites.
3. [R12] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Temps aren’t accurate: …Nor are the snowfall amounts. I like that readers can submit photos. Celsius sponsorship means nothing when it’s not broadly available at most of these resorts. And, where some flavor Dan he found, it’s an after thought in the way it’s merchandised.
4. [R15] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Inaccurate Forecasting: The forecasting was consistently significantly off from what was predicted, despite other apps having the same data but more accuracy.
5. [R10] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 2/5 · US Inaccurate trail reports: Interface is easy to use which is great, but the reports of how many trials / lifts are open do not match the mountains websites. It should be updating in real-time in order to ensure correct info.
6. [R30] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Terrible and useless forecasts: The app is useless for weather forecasts at the resorts. Seems they only report snow after it happens. Better off using the resorts websites for accurate weather forecasting and reports. If you want to know what lifts and trails are open this app is for you. Anything else don’t waste your time.
7. [R31] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 2/5 · US Needs An Update: Update: the lift status is not accurate at all. Not sure where info is being pulled from if it doesn’t even match the resorts website. Sugarloaf has one lift operating due to wind holds, and the app shows this place nearly fully running… HUGE FAIL that could really impact somebody’s day. __________ Love the app’s ability to have a quick snapshot of all my favorite mountains. I’d l
8. [R4] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Very unstable and buggy app.: Pages appear blank or freeze randomly.
9. [R13] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Not working: Not working. I am not able to find any ski resort.
10. [R19] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Way behind: The app used to be awesome, but it’s so far behind and sometimes doesn’t even load
11. [R42] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · GB Won’t load: Used this app for years, trying to open it this year and sorry to find it won’t load on my iPhone 7 any more.
12. [R6] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Work well, but spams: Dos what you want it to do. Gives you a succinct view of conditions at your resorts. Will send you spam notifications though.
13. [R16] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Too many cookies: I am canceling because the app will not let me opt out of cookies. It is letting Amazon collect info. Get on the right side of peoples rights! Too bad, I like the app for the most part. I would rather pay for the app than allow third party cookies.
14. [R22] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Ad implementation is an abomination that makes the app unusable: Used to enjoy and rely on this app, but it’s now FREQUENTLY opening ads in Safari, seemingly at random. I understand being ad supported, but this crosses a line into outright user hostile.
15. [R25] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 2/5 · US Great app but annoying bug made it unusable: This has been my go-to app for monitoring snow conditions across several ski resorts in the US and around the world. However, as of the last update, I now get a browser pop up every single time I try to interact with a resort’s page. I hope this gets fixed but until then, use something else.
16. [R5] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 4/5 · US Maps and stuff: I enjoy using the app but a lot of features seems to be limited to the website. I feel it would be super useful to have an interactive map that you can click on to find resorts by state/region/country. For me, if I want to plan a trip and find the best option for either a solo or family trip I still have to visit the website. To me this seems like an easy fix.
17. [R21] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Good but frustrating: Love the app, but very frustrating I have to add resorts to my favorites just to see what’s going on there. Would love to open the app and be able to see who got new snow, see resorts by region, etc. without having to search for them. I don’t want to add every resort to my favorites just to get updates on them.
18. [R50] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 4/5 · US The website is way better than the app: It is so easy to find info on the website. on the app I guess I have to select my favorite spots before it will give me info? On the website I can just select the pass I have and see info for all the resorts. Please make the app as easy as the website
19. [R9] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Incomplete: Does not include any of the 24 ski areas in Greece
20. [R35] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 4/5 · US Big hole in coverage: Japan has some of the best snow on the planet but you have no coverage of any resorts there. :-(
21. [R41] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 4/5 · US Great: This is so awesome; it has all the features I’m looking for. I just wish they had more ski resorts on the app
22. [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. 🥹
23. [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.
24. [R63] My Epic 5/5 · US Love this!: So convenient to check out what runs are open in my favorite resorts.
25. [R66] Slopes 5/5 · US Good app: For anyone who lives for the winter, the Slopes app isn’t just a piece of tech on your phone; it is the ultimate catalyst that completely alters how you experience the mountains. Before downloading it, a day of riding was just a blur of cold air and adrenaline, but the moment you start tracking, your entire relationship with the sport undergoes a massive shift. It injects a sense of purp
26. [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.
27. [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
28. [R74] Slopes 5/5 · US Thank you Slopes: Shapes is so awesome I used it in Park City,UT and it helped he find were everyone is because it is such a big mountain it is really amazing to have slopes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
29. [R79] 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?
30. [R80] 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
31. [R81] 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.
32. [R83] Ikon Pass 4/5 · US Large fonts please!: Like the 3d view. Can’t read lift names though. Small font. And when you zoom in the font goes smaller again! Please make lift names readily available. Thx
33. [R94] OpenSnow 5/5 · US My Go To Weather App: Open Snow has become outstanding. I don't even look at anything else anymore. You guys seem to have thought of everything. The information is spot on. I'm still learning all the nuances, but the more I use it the more impressed I become. Thx!
34. [R97] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Info dense: The detail and depth of this app is unsurpassed. Raw NOAA forecasts may be the only deeper source.
35. [R99] OpenSnow 5/5 · US My new favorite weather app: So much better detail and information. I’ll still use the other apps for Lightning strikes but I’m a total convert. Thank you
36. [R100] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Reliable: Accurate forecasts for the areas I choose
37. [R110] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 5/5 · US Beautiful & simple + weather forecast?! 🤌: LOVE Ski Tracker! Just wish the map overlay was snowy winter time. Must have board/ski tracker
38. [R112] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 5/5 · US Super handy app!: Got this app in Colorado on a ski trip because I liked the wsdot and CDOT traffic apps this guy makes, and it’s been great! Super easy to start and stop, and it’s easy to delete runs if you accidentally leave it on in the car (which I always do). I haven’t been comparing it to anything, but it seems pretty accurate for distance, speed, and elevation. Would recommend!
39. [R114] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 5/5 · US Simple to use. Exactly what I was looking for: I wanna check conditions for the places I’ll go this season, and it sounds cool to track my sessions as well! Great app.
40. [R116] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 5/5 · US Battery lasts, no login: Love that if you set it on airplane mode, your phone gps will still track everything. Battery lasted all day on the slopes. Didn’t need to make an account, which I love.
41. [R107] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 1/5 · US Pay after download: Does not mention that it is a pay app before it is downloaded! Sick of it!
42. [R115] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 2/5 · US not free: it doesn’t let me track my skiing unless i pay
43. [R117] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 1/5 · US 5 bucks: Free to download but then 5 bucks to track you is crazy.
44. [R119] Ski Tracker & Snow Forecast 1/5 · US You can’t even do it With out a pro subscription: I think this is an honest one don’t buy
45. [R101] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Great Forecasts!: I am a pro ski patroller in Wyoming. I use Open Snow regularly. Good accurate weather forecasting. Really nice site as it is totally geared towards skiers. I don’t think you can find a better resource for powder and big dumps. Great maps and localized forecasts. Highly recommend!
46. [R103] OpenSnow 5/5 · US My daily winter obsession: This app is incredible, addicting in the best way. I found myself checking it multiple times a day this winter and it got me to ski more. The reports from top meteorologists are great at laying out what is to come.
