-
Opening status, size, and (if available) social media presence of each snowpark
-
An indicator showing whether a snowpark has a halfpipe, marked with the H symbol
-
A list of upcoming events in snowparks, organized by country
__________
2) Where does the snowpark information come from?
We collect information about snowparks through online research to identify which ski resorts currently feature snowparks. This is how we build our country-specific overviews.
Opening Status
Once a snowpark has been identified, we search for ways to track its current opening status online.
If available, we provide a link to the source where users can check the status themselves.
Events
Planned events can be submitted directly by snowparks.
We also research additional upcoming events through websites and social media.
Snowpark Size
The size of each snowpark is estimated based on available photos, videos, descriptions, and personal experience. We use three size categories to provide a simple orientation:
Size S small, with few features
Size M standard size
Size L very large, with many features
__________
3) How are the snowpark overviews?
Within each country overviews, all snowparks are assigned to federal states (Germany and Austria), cantons (Switzerland) or regions (Czech Republic and Denmark).
For the Czech Republic and Denmark, there are no separate pages for each region due to the smaller number of snowparks. Instead, regions are listed directly on the main page of the country and sorted by the number of snowparks per region.
Within each federal state, canton, or region: Snowparks with an available online opening status are listed first, in alphabetical order. Snowparks without an available online opening status are listed below, also in alphabetical order.
