Ski Resort Snowreport API

Returns snow conditions, trail statuses, lift statuses, and other key operational details for a ski resort.

Note snow reports are sourced directly from the ski resorts and are only recorded during the ski season. Snow reports are generally updated daily, though be to sure to display or filter based on updatedDt as in some cases the resort snow report can be outdated.

Key details the resort snowreport api resource returns:

• Status - The resort operating status (e.g. open, closed) and planned open/closing dates.

• Depths - Snow depths at base, mid, and summit. Note resorts do not always report all three values, most commonly the base and summit are only reported.

• Recent - reported snowfall for the last 7 days.

• Lifts - Number of open lifts.

• Terrain - Number of open runs and terrain resort status.

• Surface Type - The primary surface of the snow (e.g. Packed Powder)
