Skimetric Tools (17)

find_resorts

Find European ski resorts by name and/or ISO-2 country code. Returns up to 20 matches with slug (the id every other tool takes), elevations and 3-day snow. Refine the query rather than paging — there is no bulk catalogue access.

where_to_ski

Rank resorts by live conditions. Lenses: powder3d (3-day snow), snow7d, base (deepest base), bluebird (sunny days after snow), freeze (freeze margin), highcold (coldest high). Optional country ISO-2, min_summit metres, glacier-only, min_lifts. Top 20 max.

snow_forecast

Full 10-day forecast for one resort (slug from find_resorts), per elevation band (base/mid/summit/glacier): daily snow cm with ensemble p25-p75, temps, freezing level, 48h hourly detail, storm context.

conditions

Live mountain truth for one resort: lifts/pistes open counts from the operator (dated, fail-closed — absent means no source reported, never a guess), skier thumb reports, and the country's avalanche bulletin.
