Start with Smart Recording

Hit record once, and let the app do the work. Slopes automatically detects lifts and runs while you ride—no fuss, no complicated setup.

  • Choose your activity type on the recording screen: Skiing, snowboarding, monoski, splitboard, sit-ski, telemark, and more.
  • Pause anytime: when you decide to grab lunch, catch a shuttle, or take a break simply press Pause, so the app saves some battery while it waits.

Live Location & Friends on the Mountain

Never lose your friends on the mountain! Slopes offers live location sharing so you can easily find each other on the slopes.

  • Enable “Share Location with Nearby Friends” when you start recording to share your location with friends who are also recording at the same resort.
  • Privacy-first: Only friends you’ve added can see your location, and you can turn this off any time.

Notes: Location sharing relies on cellular data, so updates may lag during poor reception. The feature is free and built with privacy in mind—go incognito whenever you choose.
