Parties

A high party rating means back-to-back parties every day, low still means some impressive parties during the week but more time to explore the environment.

Activities

Refers to long table lunches, yoga classes, torchlight descents, snowshoe hikes etc. Higher rating means more programmed activities on the itinerary.

Culture

This rating indicates the amount of local establishments ready to explore. Think everything from small sushi shacks in Japan to cosy mountain huts in Austria.

Powder

For some skiers, nothing matters more than the likelihood of fresh snow. If this is you, look for a destination with a full score on the powder.

Sun

Skiing in March or April means more blue skies, warmer weather and overall more enjoyable skiing. Plus more opportunities for leisurely champagne lunches...
