What the app does

Everything you need before the first chair

SkiBuds is built around the two questions that decide a ski day: who am I riding with, and what is the snow doing.

Find your people

Matched by how you actually ride

Every resort has its own channels, split by the things that decide whether a day together works: ability, and what you are looking for.

  • Green, blue and black channels so nobody is talked into a run they did not want
  • Separate channels for carpooling and apres
  • Public channels per mountain, plus city chat and private messages

Know before you go

Conditions across 115 resorts

Snow forecasts, resort information and avalanche reporting, so the decision about where to ride is made before you are already driving.

  • Forecasts from sources such as the National Weather Service and MET Norway, with the source shown
  • Avalanche reports for the terrain that needs them
  • Resort information kept in one place

Lift status

Notifications when it opens

Set the lifts you care about and get told when they turn, instead of refreshing a resort page all morning.

  • Choose the lifts worth waking up for
  • Notifications when status changes
  • Ask the people already on the hill what it is really like

Track the day

Runs, not lift rides

GPS tracking that understands the difference between riding down and sitting on a chair, so your day reflects what you actually skied.

  • Runs separated from lift rides automatically
  • A record of the day worth looking back at
  • Post stories from within ten miles of the mountain, or read them from anywhere
