Slopes: Ski & Snowboard Fahren
Huge improvements to the recording engine moving Slopes beyond just lifts & runs at resorts: - When you start in uphill/skinning mode, Slopes now shows live ascent stats. - A new dedicated cat ski mode for the backcountry that's tuned specifically for identifying cat rides vs skiing. - In regular downhill ski mode, hiking is detected separately from lifts. Hikes show live ascent stats, and post-recording totals them separate from lifts. - Better suppression of "phantom runs" during small uphill segments of runs. We'd merge them back into the main run in the end, but your run count could look inflated mid-run if you checked your stats. - Improved our "trim the fat" logic we apply to the start/end of runs to better cut out lift-lines & time waiting for friends at the top of the lift. - Slopes now works in landscape on iPhone, with a wider layout that makes the most of the extra room. - The Overview / Analyze / Vitals switcher is back on the playback card instead of only being accessible under the "..." menu. - You can now pinch to zoom into live photos. - Slopes will now use the heart rate zone ranges in Apple Health when available (iOS 27+). - Fixed a case where drive-away detection could fire if you were bombing a run mid-day. - Fixed searching for seasons, where '2025' only matched '2025/25' and not '2024/25'. - Fixed several peak altitude issues: the value in your season summary now matches the activity and the 3D scene shows the right peak. - Fixed "solo days" counting individual solo recordings instead of actual solo days, and a streak day-count that could be off by one for skiers outside GMT. - Fixed snow conditions where "dumping" and "fresh powder" could get swapped. - Offline map fixes: updating a digital map no longer forces a full re-download, "Erase all" now fully clears your paper maps, and we resolved a couple of related crashes. - Fixed an upcoming trip itinerary that could stay stale after you edited it. - Fixed Logbook lifetime stats not counting up on first appearance, and missing run-number indicators during playback on iOS 17/18. - Fixed some cases where the map could get stuck in a loading state, never showing activity data. - Fixed a case where trip attendees could appear duplicated. - Squashed several crashes. Going forward Slopes now requires iOS 18 or watchOS 11 (Watch Series 4 is the only hardware dropped as a result of this).
