Basic features work fine like checking the mountain map or lift lines while at the base. Some of the more advanced features seem cool but not super well implemented like tracking your runs and stuff. I largely go to airplane mode while going up the chair, which largely renders the app unusable.
The app is an improvement as Bachelor does not have very good reader boards showing lift status and no information on wait times at resort. But The page displays on the app need to be improved. For example on my iPhone 10, the font for wait times is as small as an old school telephone book. This is not very useful on the slopes when many factors can limit your vision. Also much of the information is repetitive. For example, the name of each chairlift shows up twice on the lift status. Show it once with bigger font so all lifts can be viewed on same page without scrolling. Overall, pages on app should be simplified and font size increased to improve user interface.
You ——- pieces of —— app developers/project managers
Blizzard white out conditions suddenly struck on the backside. Got separated from buddy on the backside. Lost/weak cell service. Super deep, nearly dangerously deep powder surrounded by tree wells. Worried that I might not see the catch line and ski past it. And I turn on you app hoping to get a my bearing on your map… “ERROR CANNOT CONNECT TO RESORT SEVER”… your app was UNUSABLE because of that error when it should not have been. Where am I coming from: I have years of experience developing mobile mapping apps and you piece of —— is a dangerous liability for its inabilities to operate off line. Pathetic. Your nonlinear geospatial translations of James Niehues map art were impressive. Obviously someone needs to implement it SAFELY and correctly.
Ski season - still says bike park status. Takes a second to change it. Web site shows lifts that were open in the morning but didn’t update them on the app as they opened throughout the day. Have moved to using website on phone although not ideal. Yellow filter box covers the lift names. If on a budget, hire a consultant to come and connect the two (app and site) so you only have to update once and stream line everything else. Then you can hire a budget friendly person to update text and status through the season.
The new Mt Bachelor app is so easy to use and is the best way to stay up to date on current mountain conditions. This app does it all - tracks turns, shows lift status (and estimated wait times!), has webcams, and an easy to use interactive map. They also have the ski patrol number easily accessible and a link to purchase tickets. Definitely recommend downloading before your next trip up to Bachelor!
It’s a cool app and would be 5 stars, but on certain lifts I would lose reception which would cause me to leave the session. The devs just need to utilize the phones GPS to keep tracking stats and runs until you get back into service and it can sync everything back up. Probably wouldn’t be too hard to do this, but without it, the app gets annoying when you have to keep re-creating sessions.
Love the functionality and appreciate the improvements this year. Hoping that developers will at some point add dynamic type/text sizing (feature in IOS display settings) for folks like me who leave my reading glasses in the car.
I am absolutely loving the tracking in this app, but when I stopped for lunch I wanted to pause it so it didn’t keep using my battery. However there is no pause feature!! I would love love love if they could add that. Otherwise group app :)
I’m not much of an app guy but when I want to know how long the lift lines are, the weather, and view mountain cameras this is perfect. Plus I can track the number of lifts, what trails I rode and vertical feet…. It’s perfect to send my day’s figures to those that missed out and didn’t come up.
App tracks trails which is helpful when I review my day. Interactive map with lift line times and group tracking helpful to the group. App doesn’t drain phone battery excessively.
Like the app, but … Forgot to start tracking one day, so I don’t get credit or stats for that day, even though Bachelor obviously knows what lifts I rode. It would be easy enough for the app to coordinate data with info recorded at the lift gates.
App is great! Updated with information that is perfect for first time guests or long-time riders of Bachelor. Highly recommend making leaderboard with your pals for some friendly competition
I have gone down Clark’s Jay 30+ times and it won’t register for the Bird Call achievement. And I wasted good parts of a day doing Around the World and Summit 360 only for things not to register. The achievements stuff is fun but it isn’t working very well. Didn’t have these problems other years.
Not always the most accurate but overall a very solid app that I’m happy to use whenever I’m out. Considering a lot of ski resorts don’t even have an app I’m all the more grateful for this one
For improvement of the daily snow report. When I check the report in the morning, I want to know how much snow fell overnight. I want to know how many inches of snow has fallen since the slopes were last skied upon. With the 24 hour snowfall number, that amount of snow could have fallen during the previous day during operating hours and is inadequate for determining the amount of new snow that had fallen overnight. The total snowfall number in the right column means nothing to skiers. Although useful for marketing, it doesn’t do anything for skiers. Thank you, Ron Caramella
I could not obtain my (usual) season pass on line before the September 30 deadline. I tried to obtain 2-3 day passes on my phone either. No luck, read not available. This was for a 96 hour “special.” No phone number on the app to contact Mt. Bachelor or ticket purchase help. Furthermore, cannot even submit a review as requested nicknames are all spoken for. Bill Healy would not be happy.
The weather has been been routinely wrong during opening week. And not just by a little. As I write this the actual weather is 31F but the app says currently 20F. Yes it’s been refreshed and shows current time. If you can’t trust the weather on this app can you trust anything else? Like open lifts, wait times, etc. Use the website.
I love this app because I stay in touch with my family when riding by myself although when the app got accidentally deleted all my stats disappeared and weather isn’t always 100% accurate.
Pretty good app, but the pop up for notifications every time I open the app is super annoying, I just want to ride not fumble around with my phone and get my fingers cold.
Mt. Bachelor’s app is great! Easy user interface, tons of useful information, and works well consistently. Absolute necessity when visiting Mt. Bachelor!
