Terms of use

What WhereToSkiNext is

WhereToSkiNext ranks ski mountains using snow forecasts, drive times, pass coverage, modeled crowd outlooks, ticket prices, and conditions reported by the mountains. It is free information to help you decide where to ski. It is not a booking service, a travel agent, or a safety service.

Check before you go

Forecasts change. Drive times are estimates. Crowd outlooks are modeled, not counted. Prices change by date and demand. Open and closed status comes from each mountain's own report and can be late or wrong. Always check the mountain's official report, the road conditions, and the weather before you travel. You decide where to go and whether it is safe to drive or ski.

Skiing is risky

Skiing and snowboarding carry inherent risks, including serious injury and death. Driving in winter carries its own risks. WhereToSkiNext does not assess terrain, avalanche, road, or weather safety, and nothing on the site or in an assistant answer is safety advice.

Rankings are not for sale

Mountains cannot pay to change their ranking. Featured Partner placements are clearly labeled and sit outside the rankings. See How scoring works for details.

Using WhereToSkiNext in ChatGPT or Claude

When you ask WhereToSkiNext a question inside ChatGPT or Claude, we return our ranking and a link to the full results. The assistant writes the reply you see, and it may summarize, reword, or add information from other sources. We are responsible for the ranking we return, not for how the assistant presents it or for anything else it says. Your use of ChatGPT or Claude is governed by OpenAI's and Anthropic's own terms. See Ask WhereToSkiNext in ChatGPT or Claude and our Privacy Policy.

You may use WhereToSkiNext for your own ski planning. Do not:

• Scrape, copy, or resell the rankings or data in bulk
• Send automated traffic meant to overload the site or work around its usage limits
• Use the site or tools to build a competing ranking service
• Try to break into, disrupt, or reverse engineer the site

We may limit or block access that breaks these rules.

Links to other sites

We link to mountain websites, ticket pages, and other services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, prices, or practices.
