Snow radar for skiers — 775 resorts, live snow & drive time

Find your next ski weekend in seconds. SnowTriper maps 775 European resorts with live snow depth, 7-day weather forecasts, and real driving times from your city. Filter by distance, snow conditions, altitude, and resort size. Each resort gets a match score so you know why it ranks. No account, no ads, 100% free.
A match score is really helpful for quick decisions. One thing that would seal the deal for me is live lift status and trail opening info, since nothing kills a weekend faster than arriving to find the main lifts are closed for wind.
100% on the roadmap — lift status per run is the obvious next data layer. The blocker right now is sourcing reliable real-time lift data at scale across 775 resorts (most don't publish a structured feed). Working on scraping resort status pages + a few data partnerships. Wind closures especially are brutal to miss — will make sure that's front and center when it lands. Thanks for the nudge, it's exactly the kind of feedback that shapes the priority queue! 🙏
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built SnowTriper because I was tired of ending up at resorts with 30cm of wet, crusty snow when there was 150cm of powder 2 hours away — I just didn't know about it.
**The problem**: Planning a ski trip across 775+ resorts worldwide is overwhelming. How do you know which resort has real snow right now, is within 3 hours of driving, and won't be packed with school holiday crowds? You don't — without spending 2 hours Googling.
**What SnowTriper does**: Pulls live snow depth from Open-Meteo (updated hourly) for 775 resorts across 16 countries, computes real driving times from your city, scores each resort by snow + weather + distance, and displays everything on an interactive 3D terrain map.
**What I'm most proud of**:
- **Match score** — each resort gets a 0–100% score with a visible breakdown (snow ★★★★☆, weather ★★★☆☆, distance ★★★★★). No black-box recommendations.
- **Circuit optimizer** — plan a multi-resort ski trip: pick your city + up to 5 resorts, and the app finds the optimal driving order with total time, cost, and snow scores.
- **Crowd forecast** — 14-day crowd prediction based on school holiday calendars across 7 countries (FR/CH/AT/BE/UK/NL/DE). Know which weekends to avoid before you book.
- **Perfect window alerts** — the homepage shows the top 5 upcoming powder windows across all resorts. One glance, best moment to go.
- **Value score** — ranks resorts by €/km of piste (lift pass + fuel ÷ ski area). Real value, not just snow depth.
- **Live GPS ski tracker** — once you're on the mountain, the app overlays your real-time GPS position on the actual piste map. Track your run, speed, vertical drop. This one's a banger on mobile. 🏔️
**What's already live**:
- Powder & weather alerts (push + email)
- Trip planner: driving cost, accommodation via Booking.com, gear rental via Skiset/Intersport, insurance via Chapka — all in one page
- Group live tracking mode (share GPS with your crew in real time)
**Fully free, no account needed, works great on mobile.**
Would love to hear your feedback — what would make this indispensable for your ski season? 🎿⛷️
The app returns resorts that are closed, which IMO doesn't really make sense.
Also some filter UI element overlap
