Operational means the ski business is active; seasonal summer closures are expected. Directory sources can lag changes. Snow forecasts come from Open-Meteo and refresh throughout the day. Recent snowfall is a model estimate, not a resort measurement. Lift and trail status, base depth and other resort details are shown only when available.
