What's free and what needs Slopes Explore?

Not everything that's new this season needs a subscription. Here's how it breaks down.

Free for everyone

• Saving, importing and exporting routes, places, areas and collections
• Converting a run or lift from one of your recordings into a route or place
• Basic route stats: climb, descent, peak altitude and distance
• Avalanche forecasts from 73 forecast centers in 20 countries: the Avalanche Danger overlay, and the forecast banner on your routes
• Snow forecasts and conditions for your favorite resorts

You can build out your whole map library without paying for anything.

Slopes Plus

Slopes Premium is now called Slopes Plus. Everything it already included is still there, including resort offline maps.

New this season, Plus also includes:

• The new maps: HD Terrain, HD Trees, and the new topo style with hiking trails, service roads and parking
• The elevation profile on your own routes
• Resort offline downloads now include elevation data, so 3D maps and altitude graphs work without signal
• Peak labels and contour elevations, in your local units

On trail cards for resort runs, Plus now also unlocks:

• The profile graph, including the new Grade view
• A "you may have to walk here" warning on flat sections

Slopes Explore

Explore includes everything in Plus, and adds:

• The route editor, for drawing and editing routes
• The rest of the route Profile: facing direction, max angle, and the Grade and Slope graphs
• Sun Exposure graphs on route, place and trail cards
• All map overlays except Avalanche Danger
• Offline Backcountry Region downloads
