Big Sky put out a pretty app, but it is less than helpful. Two huge strikes against it: (1) they only update lift status one per day, so it the lifts close during the day, you can't tell. This happened to us on one day with wind and thunder forcing closures, and the reopening later. Through it all, the app indicated the lifts were open. Useless! (2) the tracking portion crashed the app every time I fired it up. I finally gave up and downloaded TraceSnow, which worked well.
Maps are fine but run tracker doesn't work at all.
Typical Boyne crap Big Sky will be much better off when they are gone
Update looks nice but is useless. Nothing works. Far better off bookmarking their website.
Update appears to be functioning now. Weather could be better. I liked the old weather much better. Bring that back I'll 5 star the app. Overall it is now functioning so it's at least useful again, but not perfect.
I can't get into the weather or the snow cams from the app it says error.
Very poor bad PR for a great resort
I love Big Sky
The backend of this app is in French. Don't bother submitting any bugs, it's very difficult.
Information about weather and mountain is useful. The stats sucks. It could only record elapsed time and nothing else. Most smartphones can do that already!
Suks and does not do anything it claims. 4 different phones with us works on none.
This app sites it all while in the slopes. Great map. Even a timer to clock your runs. After hours it has a good list of eateries.
The app answers all my questions about the mountain I may have.
Overall good. Tends to freeze at least a couple of times per day
Used this app recently on a trip to Big Sky and while it looks pretty its very unreliable. The app crashed every time it was used to track runs on the mountain. It would work for about 3 lifts then stop. (Using a GS3) I was traveling with 2 other people who also installed the app (GS3 & Iphone4S) Both had the same problems.

Crashes whenever I try to use the Track Performance, lift status was last updated 5:18am, now it is 1:14pm. Live?
