OpenSummit for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great appsI subscribed to both these apps this past fall and I have appreciated having them many times. I’ve used them for snowshoeing, day-hiking and backpacking forecasts. I’ve also, unfortunately, used the smoke maps frequently the past few months. The forecasts are accurate and the apps are easy to navigate..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Great appI religiously use OpenSnow and OpenSummit before any adventure (and even when I masochistically decide to check the weather while I’m stuck at my desk). They’re always coming out with new and inventive features, improving their forecasts, and app experience. These are must have apps for any outdoor sport or weather nerd..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Great data with a useful interfaceEasy to use with very good data—especially as conditions change in the mountains. Hands down the best weather forecasts..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Necessity for Western Slope drought and recreationAlmost every day Fire Warning published. Spend lot of time in the outdoors hiking. Planned on going today, high winds and camp fires of people in the mountains concern me. Smoke and lightning strike information is critical. After my morning review of Open Summit/Snow decided not to go. Don’t won’t to be caught on a mountain trail with a fire and no escape route. Open Summit gives information to make an educated decision on what to expect for that day. Sometimes I have people with me that I’m responsible for. Makes the activity more enjoyable being knowledgeable on conditions..Version: 1.8.6
✓ Best app for pinpointing weather & air quality up highThe features the developer has been adding are rock solid and help me to get a better understanding of the weather or air quality (wildfire smoke is big out in the west) for a very specific spot in CO. Many weather apps will give you generic temps, but the temp on top of a peak can be very, very different. Excellent set of features and a great summer version of the sister app OpenSnow, which I use all winter long for playing in the snow..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Great app for hiking and other mountain adventuresI’ve been an open snow subscriber (formerly Tahoe weather) for nearly a decade. Now with Open Summit I can keep up on tracking weather and conditions throughout the year. I’m an all access member and I have been utilizing the smoke map overlays as well as the wind and radar this summer. They have not let me down. Highly recommend this app.Version: 2.0.4
✓ If you like to play in the mountains this is your app!I am using the weather and map features to plan everything from bike rides to day hikes to backpacking trips. The satellite map overlay is awesome, and so is the basecamp feature with an at a glance look at your favorite mountains. Love this app!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Essential resource!This app gives you the weather information you need to properly prepare for your outdoor adventures. Great features and easy to use. I depend on this app year round for trip planning and decision making regarding conditions..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Unmatched forecastingI live on a large lake in northern Utah that seems to make it difficult to predict weather forecasts. Open Summit is the only source I use now to view upcoming storms and get reliable weather predictions. I really love the smoke (surface) overlay, and air quality forecast in summer months in order to plan for days that my children should play indoors. I love this app and am constantly sharing screenshots of maps to family and friends. Well worth the $20 annual fee..Version: 2.1.0
✓ The best snow app is now even betterEveryone has forever just talked about Joel’s forecast while talking on the lifts. Now there’s an amazing new app that is a steal at $19 for 6-10 day forecast access & constantly improving. This group of guys love skiing and forecasting & it shows..Version: 1.7.6
✓ Great mapsI love the various maps and supporting forecasts that show the big picture for temperature, moisture and smoke for my area. This provides a more complete picture for planning adventures than just looking at the forecast using other weather apps, and it is so easy to use..Version: 2.0.8
✓ The best for mountain accuracyI work and play outside in the Colorado Rockies and have never found accurate forecasts. I check the forecast at least 3 times per day and can plan accordingly with Open Summit..Version: 2.0.8
✓ The best tool for planning my summitsHaving the membership and ability to see lightning forecasts 5 days in advance on big peaks has changed how I can plan and increased the number of summits I completed last year! I didn’t even realize I also had access to Open Snow which was such a bonus for planning which ski resort to visit as well and when to request a day off more than just the night before when it’s dumping. The BEST app for a Coloradan Outdoor Enthusiast. The apps are very easy to use and to set up how you like..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Game changer!This app has become an indispensable tool for planning my outdoor adventures. It’s the most accurate weather app I’ve used and has saved me countless wasted hours of driving to a trailhead only to find suboptimal weather rolling in. It gives me an idea of which day of the week to go, how early to start, what gear to bring (wet, snow, smoke, etc.). I owe many sunny, calm hikes to OpenSummit!.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Worth Every PennyI’m not a person who pays for an app but I’m in the backcountry so much this app is essential. I found I can actually get forecasts for the places I am going to be. The forecasts are even accurate!! I also love a lot of the articles. I’m pretty much a geek about the outdoors and backcountry..Version: 1.7.6
✓ A must have for outdoors in the mountains.I don’t use this app as much as I do the sister app, Open Snow but I’ve found Open Summit to be just as useful when I do. Gives me a great current and forecast outlook for the mountains in my area when I plan on heading out for a big hike or mountain bike ride..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Super HelpfulWe vacation each year in Breckinridge, nothing could be more helpful in planning our trip than this app. Anyone that travels or hikes in the mountains know exactly what I mean. Each day provides you with a 3 season option!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Hiking in the Appalachian MountainsI’ve used this app before about 5 hikes now and it’s proven to be accurate. The snow totals seems to be a accurate within an inch so far. For the price, it’s a great addition to my tool kit. Yes, this info is available elsewhere but this app consolidates its and gives you good visualizations..Version: 1.8.1
✓ IndispensableI’ve been a long-time subscriber of OpenSnow and when the team released OpenSummit it was a no-brainer. I hike in Colorado and am planning to summit a few peaks. The data in this app is presented well and most importantly, is accurate. I’m confident I will be able to plan my trek up and down Peak One safely..Version: 1.7.4
✓ Radar Maps Are AmazingThank you for extending the forecast maps with 18 hours of data! I live/play in Summit County Colorado and the smoke maps have been invaluable recently. It helps me plan my morning workouts and informs my decision on whether to hike in lower elevations, to climb high, or to stay inside until smoke conditions improve. I love both OpenSummit and OpenSnow. ‘All Access’ is a must and is definitely worth it!.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Best Weather AppI love weather and have several apps on my my phone for different needs. OpenSummit reduces the need for all the various apps Ive collected. There forecasts are excellent and actually help me plan for outdoor trips, especially the detailed written forecasts. Living in the west, the smoke radar has been amazing and i havent seen anything comparable..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Great appThis is the best one-stop source of weather forecasts and related info (e.g., smoke, lightning) for hiking season that I’ve found. A great complement to their (even better) OpenSnow app. I’ve been using the combo for several years, and consult one or the other almost daily..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Reliable and comprehensiveLove the Open Snow app which is helpful year round. Even lets you see air quality due to big California wildfires. I rely on it, the excellent narratives and weather maps, and even road videos on the mountain freeway 80..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Indispensable App for HikersI hike or summit peaks in Colorado year-round and this is my go-to app for planning and making sure I don’t get into dangerous or unpleasant weather situations. I love the five-day layout that color codes each day by the forecasted weather so I can tell at a glance when to plan my hikes. If I am going on a day of marginal weather, the hourly forecast has proved accurate and helpful to time my start and finish to avoid severe weather. I am impressed at how many peaks are covered by the forecast and always find one that is where or near I am going. This is a must-have app for any serious (or even casual) Colorado hiker..Version: 1.5.1
✓ The bestI love being able to browse nearby mountains and forecasted conditions to make plans. And the addition of the smoke map this summer has been invaluable for my day-to-day, non-adventuring life. Bundled with OpenSnow, these apps are the best $20 I spend each year, no joke..Version: 1.7.6
✓ Wow wow wowHands down the best weather/smoke/air quality/everything outdoors related app I have on my phone. I open it 5-10 times a day to see how smoky it’s going to be, what our air quality is, if it’s going to be raining anytime soon, what the snow totals will be in our area, when the next storm is coming, and the list goes on. Plus they are constantly updating the app with even better features. If you’re going outside for any reason, even to drive to work…download it. Pay the $30 annual subscription. Completely worth it in every way, you won’t regret it..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Love it!I’ve always loved open snow. And I definitely love open summit. I’d like to say the maps are fantastic, with features that I can’t really find anywhere else. The new Daily Summit weather discussion is fantastic as well! I love hearing about and being able to understand the greater weather patterns beyond the temperature prediction on the standard weather app. Thank you OpenSummit team!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Best smoke predictionsI’m a skier so I was already using Open Snow. This app has a longer forward looking map animation loop ~40 hours ahead. I hate that I’ve found it so useful the last month, but it’s priceless to know when we’ll likely see a few hours of clear air..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Pro is so worth the money.Cheap piece of mind before heading out. Costs less than a half tank of gas per year to avoid the bad weather skunk and you can plan your powder days a week in advance for no extra charge. What other snow forecasting app has a “Keep me honest” post storm synopsis?.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Don't know what I'd do without itI trust OpenSnow and OpenSummit more than any other news or weather source. It's incredible and impressive how detailed and accurate the information is that they provide in their articles, maps and summary pages. The snow and traffic cam links are a nice feature as well. This is by far the best weather and outdoor planning app I've ever seen and I have no idea what I'd do without it..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Must-have toolThis resource is a must-have. I have the all-access pass with OpenSnow and Open Summit comes with it. Both are worth having by themselves. OpenSummit's peak-specific forecasts are a crucial tool in assessing mountain weather (along with other resources to confirm, of course). Cross-reference resources always..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Saved my summer road trips from ruinThe mountain weather is now so much more complicated in the West with fires and smoke. This app brings everything together and lets you plan your missions with remarkable insight. For the last 3 summers, my road trips across the US would have been nightmares without this valuable info. What a great bargain, too..Version: 2.1.0
✓ THE primary source for Mountain weatherAbsolutely vital resource for anyone planning travel and activities in the Colorado mountains, or, frankly any other US mountain region. The maps and layers are the best. For winter use, the sister app OpenSnow is also a must have..Version: 2.1.0
✓ A must read!Open Snow is the best source of detailed weather reports you will find anywhere. The team goes to great lengths in curating satellite and other data from many sources to ensure we’re getting the most updated and accurate forecasts - especially snow forecast at all major resorts across the US and Canada..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Don’t leave home without checking this app.Great weather app for all outdoors people. I use the five day forecasts to decide when and where to hike. The map overlays are also informative particularly concern wildfire smoke..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Great weather appI use this app all the time to plan hikes, mountain bike rides and road rides. The temperature and precipitation forecasts have been invaluable to planning when and where to be in the mountains during the summer - and when to bring rain gear! Totally worth the subscription!.Version: 2.0.7
✓ No way to sample the app without paying for itUpdate 8/9/21 the Team emailed me and was very nice about a trial. I appreciate that genuine response so I’m updating my rating to 4 out of 5. It would have been nice to get just one feature like just temperature out of the box… This app allows you to download it for free and register an account, but you can’t test it with just 1 free overlay to see if you like the user experience…. You have to pay upfront. This app wasted my time..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Very thoughtful appI used to have to go to multiple websites when planning a trip. Now it’s all in one place. And they keep adding new features all the time like snow cams, snow depth, trail conditions, smoke maps, etc. I enjoy having all my favorite places and a place I am going to all on one page. They also are very prompt when I have questions or suggestions. It is a very thoughtful app..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Fantastic!This app can literately be a lifesaver! Among other things, it is indispensable for planning high elevation hikes to minimize the chance of getting caught on a summit in a thunderstorm. It is also great for planning the best date and time for any hike. The interface is the most intuitive I have ever seen. I just love this app..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Accurate and easy to useI bought the app a month ago and hiked four 14ers in Colorado in four different ranges so far this month and the forecasts have been very precise. If you’re like me and hike 14ers all the time, this is worth the money and a must have. Highly recommend..Version: 2.0.2
✓ An excellent way to get summit weather predictions quicklyI’ve been using the app for all of my 14er’s this summer, and has been great. Quick and accurate up to date forecasts in seconds. Highest possible recommendation.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Useful, easy, accurate, a must have!Excellent app for mountain weather forecasts with lots of useful additional info all in one place! I’ve used it often to plan hikes and climbs and found the accuracy to be spot on. I wouldn’t think of going into the mountains without checking OpenSummit first..Version: 1.5.1
✓ I check this multiple times a dayI thought this was a handy app when it was primarily snow forecasting. With the addition of the Open Summit component and the smoke forecasting, I check this app multiple times per day. I have asthma, and I have able to plan hikes, bike rides, camping at least a day in advance to avoid the densest smoke plumes. Thanks from Summit County!.Version: 2.0.8
✓ Best smoke and AQIBest place I’ve found to see forecasts of smoke and air quality. It separates surface smoke and smoke aloft, and gives forecasts on a map for 18 hours. These seem quite accurate most of the time. This is just one of many things this app can do..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Stellar weather app!Outstanding weather forecasts with loads of additional features like air quality and smoke levels. This has become my go-to weather app for everything!.Version: 2.0.6
