Lifts

Browse an interactive table of the world’s ski lifts.

Explore statistics on all named ski lifts in the world. The table initially shows lifts that OpenSkiMap records as operating. Clear the initial filter to inspect abandoned, proposed, and other lifts. The underlying data is provided by OpenSkiMap and OpenStreetMap with statistics computed by https://github.com/dhimmel/openskistats.

OpenSkiStats is a work in progress. Methods and results are subject to change. Feedback is welcome via GitHub issues.

Table usage

Numeric columns open the distribution of their values. Drag across the bars to select a range, or type bounds into the boxes beneath the plot. Bars count the lifts the other filters still allow, and the end bars hold any outliers the axis stops short of. Lifts with no value for a column drop out once that column is bounded.

H φ is a latitude distribution like the others, and its two lobes are the hemispheres: brush the negative bars for the southern one.

Ski area, country, region, locality, type, status, and detachable offer a value picker. Each option lists how many lifts it still matches given the other filters, and typing searches the options. Search ignores case, accents, and separators, so chairlift finds chair_lift, and a country also answers to its code or flag. The ski-area picker matches any of the ski areas a lift serves.

Ride is the typical ride duration in minutes and seconds, and Capacity is the transport capacity in people per hour. Both are recorded by OpenStreetMap contributors and are missing for many lifts.
