Does SlopeLab work offline?

Yes. Tracking, run detection, and your stats run on your device. No signal needed on the hill. Map overlays use Apple Maps and may be limited without connectivity; your session data is still captured.

Does it work for snowboarders too?

Yes. SlopeLab works for both skiing and snowboarding.

Does SlopeLab track while my phone is locked?

Yes. It uses background location during an active session so recording continues with the screen off and the phone in your pocket.

Why does SlopeLab need "Always" location permission?

iOS only allows reliable background location updates when the app is authorized for Always. That's what lets SlopeLab keep tracking while you ski with the phone locked. If you choose "While Using the App" only, background tracking may stop. You can change this anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → SlopeLab.

Do I need an account?

No account, no sign-in, no email. Download and start tracking.

What does SlopeLab track?

Each session includes top speed, average speed, vertical drop, distance, run count, lift count, and duration — per run and for the full day. You also get a time split for runs, lifts, and breaks.

Is SlopeLab free? Is it in beta?

SlopeLab is free to download and is currently in free beta: you get the app as we ship it, and features may evolve. There is no paid subscription right now. For feedback or issues, use Support.

What iPhones does SlopeLab support?

iOS 17 or later.

Does SlopeLab work outside the US?

Yes. It uses GPS and works at any mountain worldwide.

My speed or a run/lift looks wrong. Is that normal?

GPS can be affected by trees, terrain, tunnels, and slow lifts; classification is conservative and can occasionally mislabel a segment. If something looks consistently off, see troubleshooting on Support or email support@slopelab.app.

How does SlopeLab compare to Slopes or Ski Tracks?

SlopeLab is GPS-based automatic run tracking — like those apps, but without an account and with your data stored only on your phone. It's focused on your personal session stats and history; it doesn't have resort trail maps or friend location tracking.
