How value is scored
The value score combines three factors: the timing score (conditions and crowd pressure, 1 to 5), the resort quality score (terrain and reliability, 0 to 100), and the lift pass price relative to the median across all resorts. A resort priced below median with strong conditions and good terrain scores highest.
How good conditions are likely to be that week, factoring in weather patterns and crowd pressure from school holidays.
A composite of terrain size, altitude, vertical drop, and historical snow reliability.
6-day adult pass in EUR, compared against the weekly median across all resorts. Below-median prices boost the score.
Raw scores are normalised to 0 to 100 independently each week, so rankings compare resorts within the same travel window.
