Editorial and advertising policy
Independence is the point of this site. This page sets out how we research resorts and how commercial arrangements are handled and labelled.
Last updated: February 2026
How we research resorts
Every resort page is built from official resort figures, published lift and piste data, mapping data and our own research. We write the descriptions ourselves rather than reprinting resort marketing copy, and we say when a resort suits some riders better than others.
Corrections
If a figure is wrong, tell us through the contact form with a source and we will check it. Substantive corrections are made promptly and the resort page is updated.
Advertising
Advertising never buys a better write up, a higher placement in search results or the removal of criticism. Advertising and sponsorship are sold separately from editorial and are always visually distinct from resort content.
- Display advertising is labelled Advertisement.
- Sponsored resort placements and takeovers are labelled Sponsored or Promoted.
- Commercial partners see their placement before it goes live but do not approve editorial copy.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links to resorts, tour operators or retailers may earn Slope Scout a commission at no extra cost to you. Where a commercial relationship exists we disclose it on the page. Commission does not influence which resorts we cover or how we describe them.
Sources and third party media
Snow forecasts are supplied by snow-forecast.com. Piste maps and resort videos remain the property of the resorts that publish them. Where we use third party media we do so for reference and remove it on request from the rights holder.
AI use
We use software tools to help gather and structure resort data. Every published resort page is reviewed by a person before it goes live and we take responsibility for what is published here.
