I'm working on an independent project evaluating ski/snowboard mountains but need a lot of data. Help me out please - the form takes about 10 min but considers at all parts of a mountain.

Your input is greatly appreciated - dm me if you wanna know more about the project - tx Joe

Took the survey, two comments-

1. The snow conditions consistency seemed to imply it was a good thing to have consistent conditions across the mountain- I much prefer mountains were there are different types of snow in different places. Much easier to find something good to ski on any given day

2. I think there should be an explicit "don't know" answer for some of these. For example I cant remember the last time I got a rental or took a lesson

thx for taking it! - you should be able to leave questions blank if n/a. I totally agree on the consistency question, I may have to reword it...

Some of the questions were goofy. Pretty well put together though.

I thought the same thing.


Also the question asking if the resort is close to population centers or interstates or something. IMO its a good thing to not be close to those.
