Welcome to the Ski Resorts and Snow Coverage dataset! This comprehensive dataset provides information on the locations of ski resorts around the world and the snow coverage they receive throughout the winter season. Whether you're a ski enthusiast looking for the best slopes to hit or a researcher studying climate patterns, this dataset has valuable information that can help you achieve your goals.

The dataset contains detailed information on the latitude and longitude of each ski resort, as well as the elevation, average snowfall, and snow depth measurements for each resort. This information can be used to compare and contrast different ski resorts, analyze weather patterns and trends, and make informed decisions about where to plan your next winter vacation.

In addition to the data on ski resorts and snow coverage, the dataset also includes information on nearby amenities such as restaurants, hotels, and transportation options. This information can help you plan a complete winter vacation, taking into account not only the quality of the skiing but also the availability of other activities and services.

Whether you're a ski enthusiast, a travel planner, or a researcher, the Ski Resorts and Snow Coverage dataset provides a wealth of valuable information that can help you make informed decisions and gain insights into the world of winter sports.

Epic and Ikon Ski Resorts 2024-2025 Dataset

A dataset of ski resorts associated with the Epic and Ikon ski passes for the 2024-2025 season. Note that this includes Epic and Ikon resorts as well as partner resorts (e.g., resorts offering limited days access). The dataset includes key information about the resorts, such as their geographical location, skiable acres, elevation, trail count, average snowfall, and historical opening and closing dates. This data provides an overview of the ski season performance and features of these resorts. It's intended for analysis, research, and educational purposes, especially for ski enthusiasts, industry analysts, or travelers planning their next trip.

About Epic and Ikon Ski Passes

Epic and Ikon are two of the most prominent ski passes in North America, offering access to a large network of ski resorts worldwide. The Epic Pass, managed by Vail Resorts, and the Ikon Pass, managed by Alterra Mountain Company, allow skiers and snowboarders to explore resorts across multiple countries with a single pass. For more information, visit the official pages for Epic Pass and Ikon Pass.

Dataset Information

• Source: This dataset compiles information from public resources, including official ski resort websites, official ski resort social media (for opening/closing dates), Epic Pass and Ikon Pass websites, Wikipedia, OnTheSnow, SnowPak, and other public sources. Cells are each derived from one or more sources and then selected/verified. Some quantitative columns (e.g., vertical_ft, ski_season_length_days) are derived from other columns within the dataset.
• Purpose: This dataset is intended for analysis, research, and educational use, such as exploring trends in ski resort operations, snowfall patterns, and season lengths.
• Accuracy: While the dataset has been created with a focus on precision, there may be variations in specific resort data. For critical use, cross-checking with official resort websites is recommended.
• Notes: Southern Hemisphere seasons are assigned to the season ending year (e.g., Jun-Aug 2024 Southern Hemisphere season is assigned to 2023-2024 ski season)

Data Structure

Dataset Columns

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Safety Monitoring: This model could be used in ski resorts for real-time monitoring of skiers, enabling authorities to enforce helmet rules and reduce the risk of injury.

2. Sport Event Analysis: During professional ski competitions, this model might provide real-time analysis, identifying which competitors are wearing helmets and potentially categorizing them based on the type or color of their helmets.

3. Development of Smart Cameras: Integrating this model into smart cameras could enable them to automatically identify and focus on skiers with helmets, useful for specific filming or photography needs.

4. Insurance Investigations: Insurance companies might use this model to enhance their investigation process for winter sport accidents and determine if claimants were following safety protocols like wearing a helmet.

5. AI Ski Coaching: This model can be incorporated into an AI-based ski coaching system in which the model identifies if the trainee is wearing a helmet or not, providing real-time feedback, enhancing safety, and providing an all-around learning experience.

Map of Colorado Ski Resorts

This dataset comprises of three tables of data scraped from OnTheSnow.com. I put together this set to have a small database to play around with in SQL and also to create some Tableau visualizations. While OnTheSnow.com has data on many more resorts than just the 85 resorts listed here, I only wanted to do some analysis comparing the multi-resort season passes provided by Vail (Epic Pass) and Alterra (Ikon pass). Each csv file contains different information about the resorts:

• skiresorts.csv contains general information about the ski resorts, such as their size, runs and offerings to skiers. Many of the values within this csv are null due to the fact that OnTheSnow just didn't list that information. For example, the "Night Skiing" column is mostly null because OnTheSnow just didn't list any information about night skiing for those resorts. For most of the null values, it is fair to assume that if a value is null, then the resort just doesn't have that thing (like night skiing). Also, the "Limited or unlimited" column provides data on whether a given pass gives limited or unlimited access to a pass holder to that resort.

• annualsnow.csv has a bunch of different metrics measuring the snowfall of a given resort during the last 10 years. I would have gone farther back in time, but OnTheSnow only provides data going this far back.

• currentseason.csv gives information on the snowfall amounts for the current 2021-2022 season up until the current date (April 8th, 2022).

Note: a lot of the numerical data is not in the correct format, and that was done on purpose in case you want to mess around with cleaning the data, or would like to eliminate data using either using or not using the metric system.

Proportions male/female (Odds) and Odds ratios (OR) of more skilled/less skilled skiers with respect to perception of skiing speed.
