February 12, 2026 — Slopes, the leading winter sports app loved by skiers and snowboarders worldwide, has partnered with Ikon Pass to deliver an integrated tracking experience across all Ikon Pass destinations. Ikon Pass holders and Slopes users can now seamlessly capture every run, unlock in-depth insights, and keep their stats and standings in sync, no matter which app they choose to record with.

Once accounts are linked, Ikon Pass holders can sync their Ikon Pass-recorded ski and ride days into Slopes’ Logbook for centralized activity tracking and richer analytics, like season and lifetime summaries, time spent on runs, stats breakdowns, personal bests, biggest days, and more. Slopes users can continue to enjoy the live recording interface they know and love, complete with interactive maps and Find My Friends.

Synced days count fully towards Ikon Pass Achievements and Leaderboards, meaning skiers and riders never have to choose between recording with Slopes and maintaining their Ikon Pass stats and standings.

“Slopes has always been about helping skiers and riders have the best time on the slopes, from planning features to end-of-day recaps,” said Curtis Herbert, founder of Slopes. “I’m excited to see Slopes and the Ikon Pass app work together, allowing us to bring the best of both worlds to our shared user base — no compromise on leaderboard standings, no duplicate recordings, and no missing days, just a complete picture of their season.”

What this means for Ikon Pass app users:

• Unified Logbook with complete season coverage: All Ikon Pass-recorded ski and snowboard activities auto-sync to Slopes, merging with native Slopes days for a full, gap-free history across all mountains.
• Advanced analytics: Apply Slopes’ advanced stats to Ikon Pass data—distance, time, vertical, and speed breakdowns—for intuitive replays and deeper insights into every run.
• Memories and Highlights: Turn synced Ikon Pass days into shareable season recaps and lifetime stats inside Slopes.
• Social features: Compete and compare with friends in Slopes.

What this means for Slopes users at Ikon Pass destinations:

• No double-tracking: Record in Slopes at Ikon Pass destinations and have those days automatically appear in the Ikon Pass app with full Achievements and Leaderboards credit.
• Complete coverage with no loss in standings: Capture every run from Ikon Pass events or resort days directly into Slopes’ Logbook—photos, highlights, and lifetime stats included—while keeping Ikon standings intact and visible in the Ikon Pass app.

Together, Slopes and Ikon Pass help skiers and riders capture and track every run for a more complete picture of their season, across all their favorite mountains.

DENVER, November 14, 2024 — Slopes: Ski & Snowboard, the award-winning winter sports app, debuts one of the largest collections of high-quality digital ski maps in a new season update.

Upgrades and integrations to its custom resort mapping technology allowed the app to expand its coverage to over 2,000+ resorts worldwide. This expansion includes 662 proprietary Slopes maps, meticulously crafted by the team's mapping experts. An additional 1,523 maps are sourced from the community-driven platform OpenStreetMap (OSM).

Slopes' high-quality interactive maps provide users with impressive 3D spatial awareness to navigate ski areas, locate friends on the mountain, trace their runs while recording activities, and search for trail and resort information—all in one place.

“Whether you’re riding in Europe, North America, or Japan, on Epic, Ikon, or any other ski area, we want Slopes to be there for you wherever you go and whenever you need it,” said Jessica Kripp, Product Owner, Maps & Resorts. “This season, together with the OSM integration, we tripled the size of our map collection, creating one of the largest high-quality sets of 3D ski maps on a single platform. Seeing the final product go live is rewarding, and we’re excited to see it in action.”

The entire collection of advanced maps is now available on iOS and Android, with the Android version receiving significant updates in this release. Users can now enjoy the stunning 3D mode, and search functionality on maps for trails, lifts, facilities, and ski patrol, complete with detailed data cards for easy access to essential information.

Slopes' Interactive Trail Maps are exclusively available to Premium users, with plans priced at $29.99 annually. Core features—including live location tracking, finding friends on the mountain, key stats, and summaries—are free for all users but would rely on standard device maps for data visualization.

The Slopes mapping team is focused on enhancing the user experience for upcoming season releases. Major backend upgrades have been incorporated into the mapping system, which now supports complex layers of information, including ropes, gates, slow zones, restricted areas, and points of interest across resorts.

Breckenridge Resort and Tsugaike Mountain Resort are debuting these enhancements today, offering an exclusive preview of what’s to come. The next generation of High-Definition Maps will gradually roll out over the coming months and seasons.

by Lydia - GIS Spatial Analyst @Slopes

Living in Montana, I'm blessed with seemingly endless snow and tree runs to take turns through. But traveling around, I've come to find that there's a thrill in discovering new places and sliding into new worlds with fresh snow and new sensations rushing under my feet. There's always the excitement (and anxiety!) of navigating a new resort - “Did I take the right turn?"- hoping not to end up on the opposite side of where you're supposed to be, or worse — in someone's backyard.

Slopes interactive maps are really cool and handy. They allow you to see your position on the mountain relative to the runs, lifts, and amenities of the resort, and also look for your friends. Whether you're searching for the best tree runs or the easiest route from the summit to where your party is, our maps are the best way to help you orient yourself with your surroundings, in real-time, in 3D.

We have an entire department dedicated to creating and maintaining maps. Yes, we make our own maps, which often raises the question, "Why do you do it? Haven't ski resorts been mapped a thousand times already?" The short answer is… not so short. We create our maps because we realized there wasn’t any reliable (and large enough) collection of high-quality digital resort maps out there — and it's not like we weren't searching. Moreover, this approach allows us to structure and maintain the data in perpetuity and in a way that seamlessly integrates with our app, providing the best possible experience.

Is it time-intensive to map ski resorts? You bet! Is it worth it? We wouldn't do it otherwise. Curious to see how?

The Process

At the most basic level, each symbol on a digital map represents at least one set of geographic coordinates that relate to a specific location on the Earth’s surface. Spatial data like this is most useful when stored using geographic information systems (GIS). GIS is a powerful tool that allows us to store the data we create with a host of non-spatial information, aka attributes, containing essential information for displaying and describing the resort data. Attributes are stored as layers in the software - Walkways, Runs, Lifts, Buildings, are all layers used to create the maps in the app.

Slopes maps include almost everything you'd find on a resort trail map and enhance the spatial awareness when navigating resorts. It's hard to find your way among the trees with a printed or an overlayed pdf, but that's not the case on Slopes ¯\(ツ)/¯.

Starting the process, it’s important to know where to find the most current and accurate information to reference. This information comes from two primary sources: 1) the official ski resort website and 2) Skiresorts.info, maintained by the National Ski Area Association (NSAA).

Creating Spatial Data

Mapping ski resorts from scratch, we use GIS software to layer our data over high-resolution imagery and other spatial datasets. This imagery, often at 1-meter resolution in many parts of the world, comes from satellite and aerial sources. We use it as a reference to manually draw resort features (yup, that's right, we draw overlays by hand) in their correct geographic locations. The fine resolution of the imagery allows us to clearly map lifts and resort buildings.

While we can often see where trees have been cleared for ski runs, accurately placing the runs is more challenging. Run paths are often close together, and there's no clear marker to indicate their start and endpoints. Similarly, it's difficult to determine the location of walkways from imagery alone. To accurately map runs and walkways, we need additional information. How do we really know where the runs go? This is where our Slopes data comes into play.

We use fully anonymized data from Slopes recordings to improve the accuracy of our maps. We plot a subset of this data as a heatmap and layer it under the resort. Combined with official trail maps, we are then able to determine where to add run lines, and their orientations. This information removes the guesswork and provides us with good accuracy.

Map QA

After mapping a resort, we then check to make sure the data is correct. Our first quality assurance step uses a custom-built tool designed for Slopes resort data structure. This tool identifies unusual combinations or missing attributes, flagging errors and warnings. Alerts prompt us to review and correct the data as needed.

Getting a second pair of eyes is essential in catching errors such as discrepancies with official resort maps, misspellings, misplacements, and incorrect attribute inputs. We use Slopes heatmaps in our QA checks to verify that features are correctly positioned.

QA is a constant, ongoing process. Our resort map data is revisited annualy, when ski areas are upgraded, removed, or expanded. At the start of each season, when new maps are released, our data analyst manually compares the current trail map to the one from previous seasons. They will identify features that need updating and pass the information to our GIS analysts for changes.

But that’s not all! We also make updates based on user-submitted corrections. These submissions are invaluable to our QA process, and we can't stress that enough. We have a network of dedicated snow sports enthusiasts who help by submitting corrections through the app  (one of them might even be you). When a user reports an issue, our mapping team starts to investigate the matter further.

Once the mapping process is complete, Curtis does his server magic, and the resort data becomes available for users to interact with and enjoy.

It takes a ski village to get it right, so we highly encourage slopes enthusiasts to write in about the maps and submit corrections. You help us make the app great, and we appreciate the feedback.

If there’s one thing that Spyder and Slopes have in common, it’s a passion for innovation. Whether it’s high-quality technical ski apparel, or the latest feature on the Slopes app, our products are engineered to help you to get the most out of your time on the mountain.

DENVER, Colorado, September 13, 2024 - Slopes, the award-winning winter sports app, is ready to unveil a complete redesign alongside its support for Apple’s iOS 18 release. The update reimagines the app experience around interactive maps and personal activity stats, while leveraging the latest Apple technologies like Apple Intelligence.

"The introduction of interactive resort maps three seasons ago marked a new era for Slopes," said Curtis Herbert, founder of the Slopes app. "We've evolved beyond being just an activity tracker; everything we built around these custom digital maps makes Slopes the go-to app when on the mountain. However, this dramatic enhancement was piling on the design debt."

“It was time for a fresh approach to the Slopes interface. One that focused on giving users a sense of place as they moved around a mix of their own data and our custom resort data. One that allowed quick access to search for facilities, or a bird's-eye view of your latest stats, without endless scrolling and swiping."

Combined with new iOS 18 integrations, Slopes now offers the most immersive and intelligent winter sports experience available. The app's key sections feature sleek UI data cards, seamlessly coordinated with map visualizations:

• The Recording Screen automatically tracks your location and maps your route through the resort. It pinpoints your friends' locations and allows instant searches for lifts, runs, facilities, and more. Emergency services are just one tap away.
• The Logbook Screen displays on the map all the resorts you've visited in your lifetime. The new data card comes with nice surprises, such as new Lifetime Stats previews, Upcoming Trips, and a comprehensive history of your seasons and activities.
• The Activity Screen maps out your recordings, putting the replay button at your fingertips. This feature immerses you in a detailed recreation of your skiing or snowboarding experience.
• Finally, the Resorts Section now allows you to navigate, explore nearby resorts, and search for your favorite locations. This provides direct access to resort information, ski maps, current conditions, and snow forecasts.

Slopes is also one of the apps set to integrate Apple Intelligence and other iOS 18 features right from its launch. New capabilities will include:

• Enhanced Siri Shortcuts for controlling recording via voice or Control Center
• Dark mode and tinted app icon support
• Apple Watch improvements including double-tap gestures and Smart Stack widgets

The fresh new look in Slopes will be available on September 16 for iPhone and Apple Watch, coinciding with the iOS 18 release. Slopes offers numerous free core features, including friend-finding, unlimited activity tracking, key stats and summaries, snow conditions, season and lifetime overviews, and Siri integration.

Tracking your ski performance in real-time just got easier. No more need to take your gloves off, unlock the screen, or swipe through apps. With the latest iOS 16.1 release, Slopes: Ski & Snowboard will live up on your Lock Screen, while you record your day in the (cold) snow.

The recent app update from Slopes comes with Live Activity and Dynamic Island support. You can track your progress in real-time, with stat previews directly on your Lock Screen.

Available for all iPhone devices, the Live Activity feature lets you see two customizable stats about your day, who else is riding at the resort, and the timeline of your day.

And Slopes took the Live Activity one step further, to make it CUSTOMIZABLE. You can choose the stats that matter most to you, from vertical, distance, speed, number of runs, and more.

On iPhone 14 Pro models Slopes will live up in the Dynamic Island. It's so much easier to check stats and nearby friends at a glance, or pause-resume when taking a break.

Both features are available in the free version of the app.

Don't worry about picking what resort you're at. Select your activity type, and Slopes will figure out everything in the background (even what resort you're at, assuming you have cell reception). You can choose skiing, snowboard, monoski, splitboard, sit-ski, telemark, and more.
It's also more apparent how to set it as a backcountry activity, where you want credit for the uphill touring/skinning.
