Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows launched its new mobile application, designed to enhance the guest experience on and off the mountain with group creation and tracking, performance tracking, village navigation, lift ticket pre-purchase capabilities and real-time lift, trail and snow data.
The resort’s opening day is planned for between November 11 and November 18.
Designed and developed by the creators of the SkiLynx app, the Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows app offers group creation, allowing users to stay automatically connected with friends and family on the hill. The app also utilizes a performance dashboard with daily and season-long data tracking including trails and lifts skied, vertical climb, miles covered, hours skied, average and maximum speeds and the difficulty of trails skied. Users can also receive daily email recaps of their performance data.
The app shows chairlift wait times, and users can use it to pre-purchase lift tickets. Similar features during the summer are designed for the season’s activities. Many of the features in the Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows app were developed in collaboration with resort personnel and are not available in the SkiLynx consumer version.
“We are thrilled to release a brand-new mobile application that will continue to enrich the Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows experience for all of our guests,” said Tom Feiten, vice president of marketing and business development. “It will offer up-to-the-minute lift, trail and snow data, which are crucial on big storm days, plus a suite of new functions.”
The app is available for iOS and Android mobile devices and wearables. Current Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows app users can update their app via the App Store. Additional updates can be expected throughout the 2016/17 winter season.
