4th December 2023
Almost 360 done now.
With just a few exceptions*, almost all the remaining ski areas left to update are small local hills.
In the past, some of them have only updated their information after they opened in late December! We won't feel satisfied until all our information is updated, so some telephone calls may have to be made over the coming weeks in an effort to discover information.
* We won't shame them here!
