How to Choose a Ski Resort (Without Reading 10 Resort Websites)
Size, mix, drive, and pass tags from the same parquet, then pick a hill.
Choose on four fields: how far, how big, what mix, what pass. Ignore slogans. Chapman Hill is a Durango rec area with four tagged downhill trails. The 3 Valleys is a French domain with more than a thousand. Both are downhill rows in the same parquet. If you cannot say which one matches the Saturday you actually have, you are shopping the wrong list.
Chapman Hill. The local-hill end of the same table.
Step 1. Size from trail counts
Small / medium / large / mega is the plate used on this site. Most mapped hills are small. Destination weeks live in large and mega. A first trip with kids usually wants medium or small plus carpets. A week in France can eat mega. The chart is the file, not a taste ranking.

Step 2. Look at the actual domain
The 3 Valleys, id 45117869, is the acre leader in this extract. Zoom the map. That is one winter-sports package, not ten websites. If you want that shape of trip, you already know. If you want a hill you can lap before lunch, go back to Chapman or Montage.

Step 3. Drive time beats a famous name
Open Drive Time. Colorado has the most US downhill rows in this file. The Northeast cluster is denser if you live there. A two-hour hill you will actually visit beats a fourteen-hour drive to a logo you like. Plot the cluster you can reach, then pick inside it.
Colorado downhill points. Count is not the same as your driveway.
Step 4. Pass last
Indy, Epic, and Ikon cover a slice of the file. Most rows have no pass tag. If you already own a pass, filter with the wiki and the pass overlay. If you do not, buy a day ticket at the hill the map already showed you. Do not start from a pass brochure and work backward into a worse drive.
Workbook matches. The unlabeled rest of the map is still ski-able.
