Ski area comfort
Providing comfort costs money - this applies to comfort when going uphill (by lift) as well as comfort when skiing downhill on the piste. A ten-seater gondola with heated seats costs much more than a button lift of the same length. On the way from the top to the bottom, the space on the slopes and the quality of the snow determine whether the guest is feeling comfortable or not. Therefore, comfort must be taken into account when determining the value of a ski area.
The concept of measuring the comfort
The following figure shows how the Montenius comfort valuation scheme works.
Lift riding comfort and skiing comfort together result in the overall ski area comfort rating.
