Poster: A snowHead
|
I remember seeing, sometime ago, a site that offered the possibility to choose resorts from a list, and than you received a side by side comparison of said resorts. I don't mean the resort chooser from ifyouski.com, but rather a tool that works the other way around. I can't find it anymore, and I need it for a colleague, so I thought I'd ask here
thanks

Sugardaddy - you can get a comparison of 115 of the main European and North American resorts in the excellent book " Where to ski and snowboard 2004 " ( p83-8 edited by Chris Gill and Dave Watts. It is a rating of resorts at a glance for the following factors - snow, extent, experts, intermediates, beginners, convenience, queues, restaurants, scenery, resort charm, off-slope - for all countries - from 1 to 5 stars.
It also has a very useful ( p89 ) resort shortlists - to streamline the job of spotting the ideal resort ( No more questions on this forum!! ) for your own holiday- there are lists of 10 or so resorts for 20 different categories ( eg off-piste wonders, black runs, families, high mileage piste bashing, snow sure, lively nightlife, special mountain restaurants, village charm, dramatic scenery, something for everyone, etc..... )
The cover price is £15.95 but possibly can be got for less on ebay, ski shows, etc.

A side by side comparison of totally subjective criteria, yes it's hard to imagine why there's not more of them around

ise, quite right. Like i said before, the guy wants to see a spreadsheet with all the "vital statistics". What can i say, running statistical analyses for a living, really takes its toll
hibernia, thanks for the sugestion, but he doesn't want a book/
Dan, the iglu site searches for resorts that fit your criteria. I am looking for the possibility to choose the resorts, and then view the characteristics of chosen resorts (like # of runs, lenght of runs, # of lifts, hight, maybe a mark for "apreski" - say 7 out of 10, things like that).
My coworker wants to choose the best deal from the tour operators booklets, and then compare the resorts. I tried to convice him to set the criteria first, but he is not an easy man to convince (and, yes i still want to help him, on his terms)
