Brighter blocks are more of that week off school for that market; hover a block for the day count. The percentage is that market's estimated share of the resort's visitors.

Forecast from school calendars, official tourism statistics and this resort's snow history. Not a live count: nobody measures the queues here. Use it to pick weeks and days, not to expect an empty piste.

The tourism figures for this country do not follow a ski season (peaks in month 4, April is close to the peak, January is near-empty), because they count every kind of accommodation and not just ski beds. The seasonal shape is borrowed from AT, CH, SK, whose tourism figures do follow a ski season. Only the shape is borrowed, never the level. No weather forecast was supplied, so weather is treated as neutral. Terrain size is measured from OpenStreetMap within about 6 km of the resort centre, so a large linked area can read smaller than it skis. This resort's lifts run 19 December to 21 March, so weeks outside that are not offered.
