Replying to How do you do your ski trip research?

Yo, I do a decent amount of writing about ski travel and destinations, so I wanted to get a better feel for what people actually care about when looking to take a trip.

Where do you typically do your research for a ski trip?

What kind of things are important for you to find out before committing to a certain location or areas?

Is there any info you wish was easier to find?

Is there anything you think Newschoolers offers as far as research and info that is unique?
