  “Given our proximity to the global technology center of Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay area, we have the unique ability to move with the fast pace of the tech world. Our guests are about as tech savvy as they come, and we believe they desire the ability to use technology to enhance their fun time out on the mountain, without it feeling stressful or burdensome,” said Tracy Chang, vice president of digital marketing at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows. “Whether you are competing against yourself to close your Activity rings, or competing against friends and family, our app for Apple Watch allows you to own an active lifestyle at our mountains. And it’s working—the percentage of app users on the Apple Watch is increasing every season. The Apple Watch is a natural fit for the slopes as it’s easy to glance at the wrist for notifications and updates, keep hands warmer and fewer phones dropped from the chairlift.”
