Snowcat Help

What’s coming

What is in the TestFlight beta now, what is planned, and what riders have asked for that isn’t built.

Written for Snowcat 1.6.28. Checked against the app on October 27, 2026.

All help topics

In TestFlight now

These are in the TestFlight beta, behind Settings › Experimental. They are not in the App Store app, and they may change before they ship.

  • TestFlight Apple Watch. Follows the route on your iPhone and taps your wrist when you are more than about 200 ft off it for 15 seconds.
  • TestFlight Ride tracking. Records your day as a Live Activity on the lock screen, and can save it to Apple Health.

Planned

  • Upcoming Accuracy scores for the waits, once the mountains open and scoring starts. What will be published.
  • Upcoming Per-mountain figures: rated runs, cameras and routable lifts for each mountain, generated from the map packages.
  • Upcoming “How we estimate this” links in the app, from the wait, rating, status and route cards to these pages.
  • Upcoming The rest of this help center: the map, the crowd outlook and First Chair, Liftie, trips and friends, alerts, widgets and Siri, offline maps and privacy in the app.

Asked for, not built

Riders have asked for these. None is in any build, and none is promised.

  • Comparing runs side by side, or filtering runs by their numbers
  • Reporting a wrong number from a run’s page
  • A range around each wait instead of one number
  • Avoiding flat ground on every route, not only Max’s
  • A large or glove-friendly mode
  • Voice guidance and automatic rerouting
