Ski statistics, data and research covering resort size, snowfall, prices, participation, lift passes and the wider ski travel industry.
Understanding the numbers
Ski statistics can be useful when comparing resorts, understanding costs or looking at wider trends in skiing. Our Ski Statistics section brings together figures on ski areas, prices, snowfall, altitude, participation and the wider ski travel industry.
We look at measurable resort information such as altitude, piste kilometres, ski-area size, lift networks and other figures that can help put different destinations into context.
Lift passes, equipment hire, lessons and other ski costs can vary significantly between destinations, so we compare prices where useful and make the basis of the comparison clear.
Some research looks at the wider ski industry, including participation, resort numbers, ski infrastructure, market trends and how skiing differs between countries.
Data & methodology
The source and definition behind a statistic matter.Ski data is not always measured in the same way. Where relevant, we explain what a figure represents, when the information was collected and the sources used, rather than treating every published number as directly comparable.
