I used to use Ski Tracks, but stopped. Knowing how fast I was going made me want to see if I could go “just a little faster next time.” You can imagine where this is going, right? Two runs later, I wiped out rather spectacularly and managed to only sprain my thumb. Could have been much worse, but I scared myself enough to stop using the app.

I only one I would want would be to review the runs after the day. Flaik that they had a WB would let you save the day on a pdf that could be printed out.
I think @volklgirl has a neat one that I see on FB!

I tried Snocru a few years ago, but was unimpressed. Kept crashing.

I really enjoyed keeping track of my vertical feet when we had an epic pass. I don't have a very large data plan so am unsure of using a phone app. I looked at the slopes app. Does anyone know if this uses data? I am trying to upgrade my tech skills but am always nervous of doing something new with my phone.

I use SkiTracks. As an intermediate skier, it helps me gauge my improvement.

How is slopes on your battery?

I haven't downloaded it yet, but I am as soon as I start using my iwatch skiing. My friend has it though and loves it. She showed me at the end of our last ski day that her phone battery was still full, I asked her about it because SkiTracks used to kill mine which is why I stopped using it. The thing I liked the most is that it shows how much time you spent skiing vs in line vs on the lift and also does a graphic of the trails you skied that day along eith the usual stats.

That does sound cool!

Also just to specify, my friend had the free version and was very satisfied wih it, she didn't feel she was missing anything important that the paid one added.

I use Slopes, when I remember to start it, which is less than half the time . It works very well and does not eat batteries.

I use ski trax (sp?) which seems to be kind on my battery use and fun for my guests to see what we accomplished in a day. I never use it for myself, but might do so on a vacation coming up to compare to home. I sometimes forget to turn it off and wonder how I went so fast, until I look at the slop profile...flat! Ha!

I use Ski Tracker. The main point for me is that is breaks down time actually spent skiing vs sitting on chairlifts, which helps keep me from pigging out ("but I've been skiing for 4 hours!!! I can eat 1000 calories worth of nachos!" - then I realize that somehow between 9:30 and 1:30 only 1 real hour of activity has taken place because children had to pee, I fiddled with my boots for each of the first five runs, lift queues were horrendous or whatever).
It shows distance traveled, vertical, average slope steepness, and max speed.

I have been using Ski Tracks since 2014-2015 and like it however, it drains my battery. I'm interested in other options that are kinder on my battery or maybe I just need a new phone.

I used to use Trace, which I quite liked because it showed your trail maps and colored your path depending on how fast you were going at any given point (red = the place I fell down and had to stop to put a ski back on!). I didn't like it because it doesn't hook up to my iPhone health app and seems to drain my battery. So this year I decided to test Slopes and I like it - it syncs to the health app and is much kinder on the battery. It doesn't do the cool colors for speed, but overall I agree that the free version is really more than sufficient, and I think it'll be my app of choice moving forward.
