How are timing scores calculated?

Each destination gets a timing score of 1-5 for every week of the season, combining historical conditions quality with school holiday crowd pressure from feeder markets.

Conditions are still king: crowds can reduce the score by a maximum of 35%, ensuring a powder week in half-term still beats a rain week with empty slopes. The only way to score 5 is genuinely good conditions and low crowds.
