1. [R2] 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!
2. [R5] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Info dense: The detail and depth of this app is unsurpassed. Raw NOAA forecasts may be the only deeper source.
3. [R12] 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!
4. [R61] Slopes 1/5 · US You lose your data is your watch dies: It’s so dumb. I’ve had many issues where Slopes stops recording or if the watch dies, you lose your whole day of stats. Done paying for it. It used to work, and no longer does.
5. [R41] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Easy to use: I appreciate being able to see all my favorite locations in one view for the quick comparisons I need to do each week when planning ski touring for myself or clients. The regional forecast reports are also helpful for a deeper synopsis of what might be coming.
6. [R46] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Amazing weather tool!: I originally started using OpenSnow as a tool to track ski conditions, but it’s honestly become one of my go-to weather apps year-round. The forecasts are consistently accurate, and the level of detail goes well beyond what you get from most standard weather apps. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, whether you’re checking snow totals, hourly forecasts, or broa
7. [R72] Slopes 3/5 · GB UI could be better: I find the UI quite confusing! Why are stats played out so weirdly?
8. [R111] Slopes 1/5 · GB The UI absolutely sucks: Want to click friends to view where your friend is on the map? Good luck finding how and where. Want to view your last run details specifically, you may eventually find it after clicking through various tabs and windows just to get to it. Abysmal UI/UX
9. [R3] OpenSnow 3/5 · US Meh: Moderate accuracy 60% of the time, wildly inaccurate 40%. Example: wolfcreek got 17” today (1APR26), open snow says 5”. Like i said: wildly inaccurate.
10. [R13] OpenSnow 1/5 · US Cannot predict weather to save its life.: This app has repeatedly failed me. On several occasions it’ll have 30-50 mph winds in a location I am going, I get there and it’s completely calm. Take out my kestrel, 3-5 mph winds. Really? Ok, not a big deal once, but this has happened several times now, apple weather has been more reliable than open snow. I really had high hopes for this app as I have b
11. [R67] Slopes 2/5 · US Interesting: I love the app and what it does but 50% of the time i click record and find that it stopped after a little bit.
12. [R6] OpenSnow 3/5 · US expensive: This app has become too expensive for weather you can find elsewhere. They add features I don’t use and take away ones I enjoyed for an even higher price. I love that you can find multiple resorts in one place.
13. [R11] OpenSnow 1/5 · US Disappointed increased cost: Great app but are now charging too much, now you have to upgrade to get the services that were always standard before… had to debate renewal
14. [R69] Slopes 3/5 · US A little pay to use: A ton of the stuff is locked behind a paywall. It’s a great app if you’re willing to spend money. Otherwise, there’s only a few features; you can’t go back to view a replay or see your speed on different runs.
15. [R115] Slopes 2/5 · GB The free version has almost nothing on it: No map, no tracking, don't think I will bother using it again
16. [R30] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Snow updates: OpenSnow provided great, timely updates on all my favorite ski areas that I subscribed to including the mountain where I patrol. The weather forecasts were very accurate. Thank you!
17. [R65] 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.
18. [R100] Slopes 5/5 · US Great app and amazing customer service: I have used this app for almost year and a half, and it has been great, and have been able to record some awesome trips and events, but recently, I switched to anew phone, and it couldn’t get in, but the customer support helped me all along the way and helped me get in.
19. [R1] OpenSnow 2/5 · US Bait and switcharoo with “All Access”: I enjoyed using OpenSnow and appreciated its pricing model for the All-Access subscription. However, OpenSnow cancelled the All-Access subscription and changed subscribers to their Base subscription and introduced a higher subscription, Premium. I didn’t appreciate being baited and switched to a subscription that was no longer fitting of the original name, so
