Ski Tracks Reviews

Great

Been using it forever, consistent updates and improvements

I believe this app may be contributing to a breed of skier trying to post a new high speed by the end of the day. I’ll confess that when I first used it, I puffed up my chest at cracking the speed of sound. I showed the app to a friend, he downloaded it, went out and came in boasting he had topped my speed! 56 mph on a blue trail! Then I noticed friends of mine posting speeds in excess of 60 MPH on trails populated by unpredictable snowboarders and beginner to intermediate skiers. Speed is thrilling! I love it! The new skis allow you to carve very high speed turns. We become dangerous controlled missles. High speed skiers defend themselves by saying they are in control. This past winter I turned the app off during a winter ski vacation. I tried to focus on going slower and enjoying the view. I got hit by a kamikaze not far from the base of Sterling at Deer Valley. 10 breaks in 7 ribs, pneumothorax, punctured lung, and a bit of internal bleeding. I’m old on a blood thinner. Surgery and 6 days in the Intermountain Trauma Center. Was it the apps fault? No but the topic of Max Speed bragging came up in discussions afterwards. My neighbors wife got taken out and their child almost killed by a straight line boarder. The app is great for seeing where you went and how much vertical or steepness. Food for thought! I’m lucky to be alive. There are some that are not.

Best ski tracker

Great to track how far, fast you go and compare with friends to show how hard you go.

Would like a hiking setting

I use Ski Tracks for skiing and fat biking. It would be good if there were a setting for hiking.

Fun Accurate and Interesting

You just launch the app and at the end of the day it’s all there. You can see your routes through the trees or on the trails. Add to that: lifts ridden, vertical descended, top speed, miles skied and how many runs you took. Awesome!

Downhill mountain biking

You should add downhill mountain biking as an activity b/c many ski areas are now open in the summer for mountain biking. Need to be able to account for the lift ascent and most apps don’t. Thank you.

Elevation

Please advise how to calibrate the elevation. Our place at Tahoe is at 6240, and the app is showing 5985

Something went haywire

Hongwu1

I’ve used this app for over 8 seasons. Something went haywire this year. About a third of my runs are no longer tracked, and I’m on mountains that are well covered by 5g/lte. There seems to be some bug where if you stop for a while, say for lunch, it won’t pick back up no matter what you do. Today after a 30 minute lunch, I knew to check it and if it was still around tracking. It had stopped. I saved what I had, started over, and it didn’t take until the 4th attempt, after I had skied another 5-10,000 feet of vertical. As an end user, I wouldn’t be able to guess what’s going on. Looking at my Google location history, that was tracking where I was...so?

One ov the Best App’s ever if you Ski/Board

norybrenrut

Best app Ever for keeping track ov ur day. Keeps track ov Everything & DEAD on for location tracking which makes it Awesome for sking the trees. B cool if they added topo lines as an option ? maybe they do? never looked I guess. So Happy just as is. Had the app for 3 years now & I can go back & see my 1st season w/Ski Tracks??. Its fun to break out the phone on the chair and look at ur current day. People sitting next 2u are like - Whatttt?? And go download the App?? GREAT APP???. Thanks Ski Tracks??

Privacy??

Thee app is good but privacy policy is not. There is no reason this app needs to have background updates turned on in order to function. In my view, that is a brazen attempt to collect user data. I deleted the app.
