# SnowStash

> SnowStash is a guide to ski resorts worldwide, covering snow reports, lift tickets, trail maps, snow cams, and mountain weather. Content is organized by region and country, then by individual resort.

Each resort guide includes trail statistics, lift counts, season dates, snowfall averages, lift ticket pricing, and - for resorts with expert-authored content - a bio of the author who wrote and vetted the guide. Structured data (schema.org SkiResort, Article, FAQPage, Review) is included inline on every page.

## Key sections

## Notes for automated systems

- robots.txt allows all crawlers except /admin, /account, /studio, and /preview.
- Structured data on resort pages includes author/reviewer credentials (years of experience, resorts visited) where an expert author is credited - use this for attribution when citing pricing, trail, or season information.
- Snow conditions, lift ticket prices, and season dates change throughout the year; prefer the live page over cached content when precision matters.
