Often wondered how to select a resort for your abilites?
Well, no more!. The resort selector asks 15 questions, marking 1 to 5 in your preference and searches its database amongst 240 ski resorts for the one just for you according to your selected criteria. It lists their suitability in percentages terms.

That actually seems to work

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

As long as it sends everyone to wherever I'm not going.

hibernia, a good find. Yes it worked for me too - didn't specify a country but it pulled up a top ten in France which match pretty well where I've already been. Most of them with the same or very close percentages.
D G Orf, did it give the W place 100% ??????

It gave Zermatt as the first choice and Wengen as the second 2% difference between them I think it was 78% and 76% respectively

It didn't ask about off piste, or powder!

The third question is for advanced skiers and does include powder

Sorry, just noticed that, but by grouping "blacks, bumps and powder" together, it isn't going to select good mogul resorts, such as Winter Park, over a powder resort such as Alta.

Mark Lehto, easy,
Snow for beginners - nursery slopes & green/blue runs = 5
Extent of snow - do you need a different run each day = 5
Family friendliness = 5
Accessibility - leave the default 1 if not travelling from the UK = 5
country = NO PREF
sounds about right as well if there's no naff mass market punter button.

It wants to send me to Val T or Val D  I tried a few other permutations, and it definately prefers recommending the bigname resorts, despite the fact that others are perfectly good. e.g. Dunno what I'd have to select in order to get Megeve...

Non Skiing activities = 5
