#1: Interactive trail maps

High Demand
"App is horrible. You can’t see which lifts are open in the morning unless you wait until operating hours. (Ikon Pass)"
"Your 3D maps update is GARBAGE. Hard to navigate around steamboat, the open trails are not indicated with highlight anymore. (Ikon Pass)"

#2: Offline functionality without subscription

"Offline maps only show straight lines in 2D and terrain without slopes in 3D. (Slopes: Ski & Snowboard)"
"Can no longer open at mountain without cell service, Useless. (Ski Tracks)"

#3: More accurate snow/weather reports

Medium Demand
"The info provided in the app is inaccurate. Doesn’t make it very useful if I have to double check everything using other weather tools. (OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report)"

#4: Improved customer support

Medium Demand
"If you have any problems, their Customer Support is absolutely NON EXISTENT. (Ski Tracks)"
