Ski Resort Quiz Matches Skiers with Personalised Recommendations
Choosing the ideal ski destination has never been easier, thanks to Snomad’s new Ski Resort Quiz. Powered by over 150,000 authentic community ratings and thousands of resort statistics, this free tool delivers personalised recommendations to help skiers and snowboarders find their perfect match - users simply answer a few questions about their skiing or snowboarding preferences, and the quiz delivers their top three recommended resorts.
Why This Matters
Skiers today face a growing challenge: navigating an overwhelming number of resort options while managing rising costs, crowded slopes at some of the better-known resorts, and an increase in unpredictable snowfall. Snomad’s Ski Resort Quiz simplifies this decision-making process by combining the power of big data with authentic peer reviews to match users with the destinations best suited to their priorities. Snomad founder Dan Lever, said “Choosing a ski resort is often complicated by marketing hype, recommendations from friends with differing preferences and incomplete information. Our Ski Resort Quiz cuts through the noise, helping skiers make informed decisions based on what truly matters to them.”
The Technology Behind the Quiz
The Ski Resort Quiz leverages a unique combination of user-generated ratings and resort statistics to create tailored recommendations. Over 150,000 ratings span 20 key categories, including family-friendliness, après-ski, value for money, accommodation options and differing terrain-types. Additionally, the quiz incorporates thousands of resort stats such as:
- Lift pass costs
- Skiable terrain size
- Average annual snowfall
- Elevation and location
Users simply answer a few questions about their skiing or snowboarding preferences, and the quiz delivers their top three recommended resorts, along with the option to explore even more matches. Each recommendation links to detailed resort profiles, allowing users to explore resort statistics, ratings, and detailed user reviews to get a true feel for the resort.
Key Trends and Insights
The quiz also sheds light on emerging trends within the ski community. Since its recent launch, thousands of skiers and snowboarders have taken the quiz, with value for money standing out as the most frequently selected priority, followed by high snowfall averages and uncrowded slopes. These preferences reflect a broader shift as skiers seek alternatives to the more mainstream, overcrowded, high-cost destinations.
“Our community’s data-driven insights reveal the changing priorities of today’s skiers,” Lever adds. “This shift is likely fueled by rising costs, less reliable snowfall, and a desire to discover new places and hidden gems that deliver great snow conditions without the hassle of long lift lines. As skiers become more selective about where they choose to ski, we’ve seen a growing demand for unbiased, authentic information to help them make informed decisions.”
Snomad’s Ski Resort Quiz is free and available now here. Whether it’s about prioritising fantastic off-piste, affordable trips, or family-friendly amenities, the quiz provides personalised results in just seconds.
