Scroll your way through the story of OpenSkiStats and visualize the methods used to assess ski area orientation. We hope this interactive "skirollytelling" experience makes exploring this data as enjoyable as a day on the slopes.
Full Description
As you scroll through the story, you'll encounter a blend of visuals and narratives that shed light on the making of OpenSkiStats.org, the first open, global, continuously updating collection of downhill skiing statistics. Powered by the Quarto extension Closeread, we walk you through the derivation of the "ski roses" from collections of trail segments, and how they help us uncover the patterns of the slopes. Whether you're an avid skier, a data lover, or simply curious about the trends in the mountains, we hope you enjoy exploring the statistics that shape the skiing world.
