One list, two seasons

Winter

Minutes on foot to the bottom of the nearest chairlift, gondola or tram
Miles to the lift when it is too far to walk in ski boots
Runs by difficulty, vertical and Nordic centers close by

Summer

Minutes on foot to a lift that carries bikes
How far the nearest trailhead is
Lakes, alpine coasters and ziplines near the base

Why the minutes matter

Bikes don't park easily

Base-area lots fill early on bike park weekends. Rolling from your door to the lift means first chair and no hunt for a space.

Start on foot

A trailhead you can walk to turns an early hike into a five-minute stroll instead of a drive up a dirt road.

Afternoons by the water

We list the named lakes near each mountain, so you can see how far a paddle or a swim is after the morning ride.

Ski boots are slow

Ten minutes in sneakers is a long trudge carrying skis. Knowing the real walk before you book saves the morning shuttle wait.

"Slopeside" is a claim

Listings write their own labels. We measure from the building on the map to the bottom station of the lift, the same way for every place.

The rest of the trip

The nearest grocery, pharmacy and place to eat, measured from each lodging's door, because a ski week runs on snacks.

No one pays for a place in line

Lists run nearest first and nothing else moves them. No sign-up, no pop-ups, no ad trackers.
