Points
Q. What do I get points for?
A. The point system is going to go through lots of changes over the coming months, but the more you ski and the more you add info to the site, the more points you'll get.
At the moment You can get points for four things...
- 1 point per day skiing or boarding (max 20 points per resort)
- 1 point for each upvote on a link you add (and 1 point deducted for every downvote).
- 5 points for writing a description of a resort
- 1 point for an approved update to a piece of resort information (summit height, number of lifts, etc)
Q. What do points get me?
A. Glory!
Resorts
Q. I've visited a resort you don't know about. How can I record a visit against it?
A. Just record your visit as normal. If the resort is in the US we'll get a notification and add it. If not, it will still count against your number of days and show in your profile as normal.
Q. Your details for a resort are incorrect. Do you want to correct them?
A. We'd love to.
Contact us with what we've got wrong.
