What Makes The Snomad Awards Different?
Unlike other ski industry awards that rely on paid nominations or allow resorts to collect their own votes, the Snomad Ski Resort Awards are determined exclusively by verified ratings from actual visitors who have experienced these resorts first hand.
"This approach ensures that winning resorts truly deserve recognition based on guest satisfaction rather than marketing budgets or social media follower counts," explains Dan Lever of Snomad. "When real skiers and snowboarders decide the winners, receiving an award is truly an achievement to be proud of."
