About
Provides detailed geographical and winter condition data for ski resorts located worldwide. This resource offers essential metrics like location coordinates, elevation, average snowfall, and snow depth measurements for analysis. Additionally, it contains useful context regarding nearby amenities such as accommodation, dining, and transit options, facilitating informed travel planning and academic research related to winter sports. The collection addresses questions such as which resorts receive the most snow and the potential effect on ski pass prices.
