Re: Killington App User PSA
I poached on purpose with my App tracking and it didn't warn me or anything. It just showed the trail name in my stats page. WIll I get a nasty gram from Killington?
I get all the news I need from the weather report

Left the app on when I drove back to the condo. Apparently the app had me on Idler. There's too much gps error to determine exactly where you are...

Re: Killington App User PSA
I doubt they’d pull your pass based on a GPS track. Two words: “Plausible Deniability”. Besides if word got around that they were really tracking you big brother style, they’d tank their own app. People would stop using it. If you’re still paranoid, take that tin foil hat and wrap it around your phone.
Re: Killington App User PSA
The app reported me as having gone down upper great northern when I had actually come down the top of downdraft. I don't think there's nearly enough precision for them to be tempted to use it catch poachers.

The best practice is to wrap your phone in tin foil so the NSA can't track you and listen to your conversations. Tinfoil hats only provide protection from satellites overhead and can't protect you from the phone in your pocket, obvi.

I have noticed that the app is really bad at tracking the Snowdon 6. It has yet to count all my rides on it

Re: Killington App User PSA
App can use some work...
1.) Missed 5 of my rides on the 6-pack in 3 days. Missed 2 on the triple.
2.) Marked me on 3 trails I never rode, including trails no where close to me.
3.) Inflated my vertical all three days over my ski partner who followed me everywhere.
4.) Inflated my day 3 vertical by more than 50% - yes 50%, all while missing 3 lift rides.

Re: Killington App User PSA
yep some days you'll see folks averaging over 2000" per run which currently is impossible.Stormchaser wrote: ↑Dec 21st, '20, 15:34 App can use some work...
