EM Snow combines open data from the services below. We are grateful to every one of them.
When a resort publishes its lift status, we read it from the resort's or area's own site and name it on the resort page. Where there is no direct source we show OnTheSnow's lift counts, which are usually updated once a morning, and say so.
