FIND PEOPLETO SKI WITH —RIGHT NOW.
HotLaps is a social app for skiers and snowboarders. See who’s actually on the hill near you, drop a meetup pin, or grab a beer at the lodge — with the same casualness as walking up to someone at the bar.
01
Open graph.
No friend gating.
Strangers on the lift — not just the friends you came with. Discovery is what makes the meetup actually happen.
02
Only active inside resort boundaries.
Heartbeats stop the moment you leave the mountain. Not throttled. Not blurred. Stopped.
03
Après is first class.
Beers at 4? Pick a lodge. RSVP. Done. Same primitives as a lap meetup, swapped to chill mode.
BUILT AROUND ONE SAFETY RULE.
Eight other live-location ski apps exist. Every single one closed the graph because of off-mountain safety concerns. HotLaps shares your location only while you’re on the mountain. When the ski day ends and you head home, location sharing stops.
Strangers seeing each other on the hill is the same trust model as strangers seeing each other on a chairlift in real life — which is to say, fine.
