What riders have said

What riders wrote about the original SkiBuds app.

  • rickyhurtsyou
    “I've had several meet ups through this app. Great format and pretty awesome how the developer will modify if you toss ideas their way. I'm looking forward to using this app again to find fellow shredders this winter. Keep up the good work!”
  • SkiScribe
    “I absolutely hate skiing alone and Ski Buds app and eliminated that problem for me. So fun! I've met great people, great riders, and have only had great experiences using this app.”
  • Caropm
    “This app is top notch and fills a void for anyone looking to build friendship with likeminded people on the slopes or to find someone to share an adventure on the mountain with. I am new to the app, and have not gotten to use it on the slopes yet, but know i will be using it next time i go skiing! I know the features will only grow and improve! Thanks so much for making this!”
  • Xheku 7b
    “Woah! For so many year I would do dangerous runs alone because i couldn't find anyone to do them with! Now this app is literally keeping me safe and making me friends! And i can always get a lift to the mountain! Great app!”
