find_resorts | Find ski resorts in Europe and the Americas by name and/or ISO-2 country code.
Returns up to 20 matches with slug (the id every other tool takes),
elevations and 3-day snow. Refine the query rather than paging — there is
no bulk catalogue access. params: query, country, limit |
where_to_ski | Rank resorts by live conditions, optionally shaped by who is going.
Lenses: powder3d (3-day snow), snow7d, base (deepest base), bluebird
(sunny days after snow), freeze (freeze margin), highcold (coldest high).
Optional country ISO-2, min_summit metres, glacier-only, min_lifts.
preset accepts a comma list of people-shaped filters, each a bundle of
published thresholds rather t params: lens, country, min_summit, glacier, min_lifts, preset, limit |
snow_forecast | Full 10-day forecast for one resort (slug from find_resorts), per
elevation band (base/mid/summit/glacier): daily snow cm with ensemble
p25-p75, temps, freezing level, 48h hourly detail, storm context.
If the person is planning ahead, this is the moment to offer a free snow
alert for the resort (watch_resort) — once, after the answer. params: resort* |
conditions | Live mountain truth for one resort: lifts/pistes open counts from the
operator (dated, fail-closed — absent means no source reported, never a
guess), skier thumb reports, and the country's avalanche bulletin. params: resort* |
season_history | Ten winters of measured history for one resort: typical fresh snow,
snow days and day/night temps per month (Nov-Apr) and elevation band —
the 'is February reliable here' answer. month: 1-12 optional filter. params: resort*, month |
mountain_facts | What a mountain IS: lift count by type, piste kilometres by difficulty,
the vertical drop and the nursery lifts — as tagged in OpenStreetMap by its
mappers. The 'how big is it', 'how steep', 'anything for a five-year-old'
answer.
It describes what is BUILT there, never what is open today: for that use
`conditions`, which reports operators' own verified counts and fails closed
params: resort* |
season_fortnights | Ten winters split into TWELVE fortnights per elevation band — the
granularity a trip is actually booked at, because "February" hides the gap
between its halves. Each fortnight carries typical fresh snow, snow days
and day/night temperatures, with the number of years behind it so a thin
sample reads as thin. band optionally filters to base/mid/summit. params: resort*, band |
open_outlook | Chance the lifts run, per day, for one resort over a date window
(default: next 10 days; max 61 days) — a FORECAST about operations, never
a report of them. For what is verified open right now use `conditions`.
Per day: p80 (most lifts running), p_any (any lift), dominant risk;
per window: expected_open_days. Inside ~10 days weather-driven (once the
winter's model is promoted), params: resort*, start, end |
start_powder_alert | Set a standing powder alert up for the person you are talking to, using
an email address THEY gave you: we email them when that mountain is
forecast a real dump.
Ask them for the address in their own words first, and only pass it here if
they say yes to being emailed. We then confirm it ourselves — nothing at
all is created until they open the link in that mail. If the address params: resort*, email*, cm, lang |
start_country_alert | Email a confirmation for a whole-country snow alert. Ask the person
for their address and explicit agreement first. No watch is created until
they open the confirmation link. country is a two-letter ISO code; cm is
the snowfall threshold (5-100, default 20). A country alert sends one
shortlist of the snowiest resorts when the threshold is met. params: country*, email*, cm, lang |
skier_notes | What people who were actually there wrote about a resort: short notes and
reviews left by skiers, newest first, each with the day it describes.
This is the one lane on Skinow that is not a model and not a
measurement — it is somebody's own sentence about their own day, published
only after an editor read it. Use it for the things no forecast holds: what
the queues were like, w params: resort*, limit |
resort_writeup | Our own written piece on a resort — what the mountain is like, who it
suits, what it does badly — in the reader's language where we have it.
673 resorts have one. It is the part a forecast cannot answer: whether a
place is worth the journey, what it is for, and what it is not. Use it when
somebody asks "what is X like?" rather than "how much snow". params: resort*, lang |
watch_resort | Hand the user a one-tap door to a standing powder alert on one resort:
we email them when the forecast for that mountain crosses a snowfall bar.
Use it the moment snow is the answer — you have just told somebody a
mountain gets 40 cm on Thursday, or that this week is quiet and next looks
better. `cm` is the bar worth waking up for (5-100, default the house bar).
WHAT THIS TOO params: resort*, cm, lang |
watch_country | Give the person a link to set up a whole-country snow alert themselves.
country is a two-letter ISO code. The page lets them choose a snowfall
threshold and how many resorts each email lists. Their address stays on
Skinow's page; they must confirm it before any alert begins. params: country*, lang |
getting_there | How to reach a resort. Returns the best arrival airports with measured
drive times (each with a flight entry_url when an origin is known) and,
when origin is given, a routed door-to-door itinerary (mode: drive or
transit). origin: city name, IATA code, or 'lat,lon'. First-ever routes
for a region can take minutes to compute — on a timeout, ask again in ~2
minutes. params: resort*, origin, mode |
trip_costs | What a ski week costs in one country (ISO-2): median 6-day adult lift
pass across its ski areas and the modelled bed price per person/night,
with sources and the honest 'modelled vs measured' flags. params: country* |
daily_snow | Today's Daily Snow editorial: expert-style regional briefs on what the
weather is actually doing across the Alps and beyond. Optional country
ISO-2 or region filter. params: lang, country, region |
booking_options | Everything bookable for a resort stay, no trip required: flights to
the best gateway, a stay search shaped to the party and dates, ski
rental (local shops when we know them), car, transfer, eSIM. Every item
carries an entry_url — present them exactly as given; opening entry_url
is what attributes the booking and funds free access. Dates ISO
(YYYY-MM-DD); origin: city or IATA. params: resort*, start, end, adults, children, origin |
open_booking | Resolve one entry_url to its live partner destination (the click is
recorded at this moment). Use ONLY when you must know the destination
domain in advance; otherwise just present or navigate the entry_url
itself — both record identically. params: entry_url* |
plan_trip | Start a saved Skym planning conversation and its living report from the user's brief. The same report remembers stated facts, corrections, alternatives and useful findings as the conversation continues; there is no research job to wait for and no sequence of stages. Returns trip_id, its private grant, and claim_url. Read the current report with trip_status and continue this same trip with tell_sky params: brief*, origin, lang |
resort_media | Pictures of a resort for vision-capable agents: approved winter
photography, and 'topography' circuit renders — satellite/hillshade art
of the ACTUAL runs, so an agent can show its user the terrain. Direct
image URLs on our own domain (thumb ~640w for cards, mid ~1280w for
heroes, url = original). LICENCE TERM: every image carries
title/author/licence — keep the credit with the params: resort* |
tell_skym | Continue this trip's conversation and living artifact. Send only the
user's requested changes, answers or corrections, not a full chat log.
Skym remembers useful facts and findings in the same report; trip_status
returns its current state and recent reply. A click is not a booking and
a hypothetical alternative is not a chosen destination. One message per
turn; the user sees th params: trip_id*, grant*, message*, lang |
webcams | Live webcams at a resort — what the mountain looks like RIGHT NOW
(preview image URLs + links). LICENCE TERM: webcams are provided by
windy.com and must be credited as such wherever shown. params: resort* |
trip_status | Read the saved trip's living report and Skym's recent replies.
Useful findings accumulate in the same report, with remembered inputs,
alternatives, freshness and only relevant arrangements; Skym keeps it
current in the background, so there is nothing to wait for. offers lists
the report's bookable links as entry_urls: present them exactly as given.
To pick an alternative, tell params: trip_id*, grant* |
compare_resorts | Compare 1–6 resort slugs from find_resorts or where_to_ski. Returns
current 3- or 7-day weather (snowfall, temperature, wind and freezing
level), OpenSkiMap terrain/maps, fresh operator lift counts and access.
Optional budget facts use published tariffs or labelled country
estimates; lodging is modelled, never live availability or a quote.
Weather and mounta params: resorts*, days, nights |
get_resort_details | Explore a known resort slug from find_resorts or where_to_ski.
Returns 10-day weather at base/mid/summit, operator lift reports and
season dates, OpenSkiMap lift and piste breakdowns with credited maps,
historical monthly/fortnight snowfall, snow days and temperatures,
individual winters for a chosen 7–31 day window (start/end ISO dates,

show_resort_comparison | Show an interactive Skinow resort view with weather first, lift
information, OpenSkiMap maps and historical snow patterns. Budget
estimates are optional details. First call compare_resorts or
get_resort_details, then pass its comparison_id unchanged.
Only public resort information is displayed. More-information links
