The best ski touring today
245 resorts ranked for ski touring. The best aspect and start time for each day, judged on the descent, the climb and when the snow turns wet, updated every 3 hours.
Snow quality, not safety. Avalanche danger never changes this score. Always check your national avalanche bulletin and make your own terrain decisions before touring.

How the touring score works
Built for an experienced ski tourer. For each day we try every aspect and start time, then score the best plan: the descent matters most, with the climb and the timing of wet snow counting too.
DescentDriver
Powder, corn, crust or slush on your aspect when you reach the top, all the way down to the snowline. Classic corn and deep, cold powder score highest.
Aspect and start timePlan
North, east, south and west faces, with starts from before dawn to 11:00 at about 375 m of climbing an hour. The best plan wins and shows start-by and descend-by times.
Wet snow timingModifier
A weak overnight refreeze or several warm days bring wet snow earlier. Plans that finish after the snow turns wet score lower.
The climbModifier
Carrying skis below the snowline and breaking trail in deep new snow count against the day.
WeatherModifier
Visibility, wind, cold and rain at the top and on the way down lower the score.
Avalanche dangerNot scored
Never changes the score. The avalanche badge is shown for information only: read the official bulletin and make your own terrain decisions.

Frequently asked questions
How often is this updated?
Each resort is refreshed once every three hours. The catalogue runs in staggered slices, so resorts do not all share one timestamp. This board reads the latest published snapshot.
How is the touring score calculated?
We plan the tour for you. For each aspect and each start time from before dawn to 11:00, we climb at about 375 m an hour from the trailhead or the snowline, allow half an hour to transition, then ski down. Each plan is scored mostly on the snow for the descent, with smaller shares for the climb and for finishing before the snow turns wet. The headline is the best plan, shown with its aspect order, start-by and descend-by times.
Does this assess avalanche risk?
No. Avalanche danger never changes the touring score, and the avalanche badge is for information only. The plan picks aspects and timing for snow quality, not for safety. Always check your national avalanche bulletin and make your own terrain decisions before touring.
Why do the start time and aspect matter?
In spring the snow is a race against the sun. A clear, cold night freezes the surface; the sun then softens east faces first, then sunny faces and west faces later in the day, into corn and later into wet, unsupportive snow. The best plan reaches the top as the corn is ready on its aspect and is down before the snow turns wet. A cloudy or warm night with a weak refreeze, or several warm days in a row, brings the wet snow earlier. In midwinter, shaded aspects usually keep the best powder.
What if the snow does not reach the trailhead?
The plan starts at the expected snowline and counts the carry against the day. Deep new snow that means hard trail breaking counts against it too.
Is touring scored when the resort is closed?
Yes. Touring needs no lifts, so the score still judges the natural snow when the lifts are shut.
What do the confidence words and ranges mean?
Every score has a likely range and a confidence word. "Likely 62 to 78" means the score should land in that range about eight times in ten. "Checked against reports" means today's evidence backs it up: a snow station close by read in the last day, or matching check-ins from two or more regular reporters. "Partly checked" means some evidence: resort lift status, run reports from the last three days, a snow station within 30 km or a satellite image from the last five days. "Estimated from weather models" means weather models and seasonal patterns only. Long gaps in the weather data lower the confidence. On the boards, no marker beside a score means Checked against reports, Partly checked is shown as it is, and Estimated means estimated from weather models. The score's tooltip gives the full words and the range, and each resort's forecast shows the range under every day's score. Confidence never changes the score itself: it tells you how far to trust it.
What do the labels mean?
Hero is 90 and above, Firing 75 to 89, Great 65 to 74, Good 50 to 64, Fair 35 to 49, Poor 20 to 34 and Flat below 20. Score unavailable appears when there is not enough data to score fairly.
Where does the data come from?
Weather comes from Open-Meteo, which combines national weather models. Runs and lifts come from OpenStreetMap via OpenSkiMap. Official run and lift reports are used where resorts publish them. Snow depth comes from public station networks such as SLF in Switzerland, GeoSphere Austria, Météo-France and SNOTEL in the United States, satellite snow cover from Copernicus Sentinel-2 and NASA images, and check-ins from skiers using PeakWave. Avalanche danger badges come from the regional warning services, via avalanche.report in Europe and avalanche.org in North America. The full list, with licences, is under How the score works.
