[edit] Change
I have added the ability to remark on the resorts snow making and night skiing capacity, which is a major draw in most eastern ski resorts. -- Ubergenius 15:23, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Additional fields
I was about to create such a template, but discovered this one. The things I had that are missing or substantially different are:
- Lat/long: I'd make this a location which uses one of the {{coor}} templates (coor d, coor dms, etc.). In some instances these are available in degrees, minutes and seconds (as in the existing template); other cases all one has are degrees and minutes where minutes might have a fractional part; in yet other cases, one has only degrees with fractions.
- uphill capacity, as passengers per hour
- standardize lifts into elements for
- trams
- high speed chairs (maybe break out 6s from 4s?)
- standard chairs (break out double/triple/quads?)
- gondolas
- surface tows
- other, like subways and whatever
- annual snowfall
- snow making
- terrain breakdown, such as 20% green, 25% blue, 35% black, 20% double black; 55% groomed
- terrain parks/pipes
- snowboards (dis)allowed
- busiest day of week and week of year
- non-busiest (but open) day of week and week of year
- winter activities, such as sleigh rides, nordic skiing, snowmobiling, ice palace building, etc.
- summer activities, like golf, water skiing, etc. Or "none" if that's the case.
- ski/snowboard school, rentals, gear for sale
- facilities: lodging, resort, snack, dining, spa, etc.
It would be nice to specify the measured units in metric and imperial (or whatever it is) consistently and automatically. The {{feet}} template does this, so maybe it could be adapted—or used outright..
Undoubtedly several of these would have highly debatable values, so maybe they are best specified as a range. For example, "Annual snowfall: 200 to 300 inches".
I am going to make this template easier to find. EncMstr 23:43, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- I added the template to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Ski page, so it should be easier to find. I thought of some additional infobox fields:
- Typical season: open to close dates
- Year opened: resort age
- Expected snow and weather indication: some expectation guidelines, like hard pack ice in fog December through April; or sunny and cold January through March.
- Transportation: best way and options getting to the resort, like private car, bus/train line, parking hassles, permits, etc.
