A GIS App to Locate Potential Ski Areas

Jordan Silberman and colleague Peter Rees from the University of Delaware in Newark published an article in the January edition of Applied Geography detailing the app. Once you input the general area of interest and the nature of the resort (small, large, etc.) the app seeks out those locations that are available and have the humidity levels most likely to produce powder snow. It considers accesibility, slope steepness and the risk of avalanches, among other things.
