Have you ever wondered what goes into the PeakRankings Mountain Score? The Mountain Score is the holistic ranking system that PeakRankings uses to rate the overall mountain experience at each resort we review. In this article, we’ll examine how the Mountain Score is calculated to give you an inside look into our unique methodology and help you understand how resorts compare to each other.
On a high level, to give each resort a Mountain Score, we assess ten equally weighted categories that paint an overall picture of the typical mountain experience. We’ll describe what each category means, why it matters, and what we look for in scoring that category.
If you’re looking for a detailed listing of the specific ratings thresholds (1-10) that define how we score each category, seethis article.
