About us
Who we are, how we research ski resorts and why every figure on the site is traceable to a named source.
Just Piste is an independent reference for skiers planning a trip in Europe. We built it because most resort information online is either an advert or years out of date.
What the site is
Every number on Just Piste — piste kilometres, lift counts, snow depths, transfer times, prices — comes from a database we maintain ourselves, not from marketing copy. If we do not have a verified figure for something, the page simply leaves it out rather than guessing.
How we gather data
Piste and lift data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors. Weather and snow forecasts come from Open-Meteo. Airport transfer times are calculated with a routing engine wherever we can, and flagged as estimates otherwise. Full detail, including refresh schedules and licences, is on the data sources page; the scoring behind every badge on the site is explained in full on the methodology page.
No ads, no sponsored rankings
Just Piste carries no advertising and no affiliate links. A resort cannot pay to rank higher on a list, and we do not accept payment for placement anywhere on the site.
