Every figure traced to an official source.
Ski resort marketing pages round numbers up and blend base and summit statistics. We read the resort's own published lift and piste tables, note where each figure comes from, and link to the resort's live snow report rather than showing you a number that goes stale the day we publish it.
Sourced, static facts
Altitude, piste length and lift counts come from the resort's own published data or an official ski-area federation, never a rounded guess.
Live data, honestly
Snow depth and piste openings change by the day. We link to the resort's own live snow report instead of showing you a number that's already wrong.
Only resorts that exist
Every resort listed operates real lifts and pistes today. No hotel or bar counts we can't verify.
