What is a vane?

A one tap question you place anywhere on your website.

  1. 1
    Place the vane… anywhere

    Engage visitors throughout your web content.

  2. 2
    Visitors tap

    It's intended to be quick, fun and interesting.

    You get the data

    Live in your dashboard: to fix problems early, plan the menu, and publish numbers worth quoting.

Ski resort poll questions to steal

Questions people actually answer.

Paste these into the builder or swap in your own mountain. Everything argued about in a lift queue is worth counting.

Engage visitors

Your site talks with customers instead of at them, and they come back to see how everyone voted.

Run a better shop

Real answers on the menu, prices and hours, from the people who pay for them.

Get cited by search and AI

Original numbers only you have, the kind Google and AI answers quote.

Protect your reviews

Hear about a rough visit while you can still fix it, and know what people love.

Survive the off season

A resort audience vanishes for six months. An improvement ballot running through summer keeps pass holders engaged and turns a capital decision into a reason to renew.

Where should it go on a ski resort website?

The right format for every part of your site.

The best spots are the conditions page, the season pass page, the lift ticket confirmation, the off season newsletter, and the trail map page.

Common questions

What owners ask us.

How do ski resorts stay engaged with skiers in the off season?

Give pass holders a decision to make. An improvement ballot running through summer keeps the audience on your site for six months when they would otherwise disappear, and it turns a capital project into a renewal argument.

What should a ski resort website have besides a snow report?

A crowd sourced conditions pulse alongside the official one. Publishing both is what makes your report credible, because everybody assumes resort reports are optimistic.

Can skiers influence resort investment?

For discretionary projects, yes, and it is excellent marketing. Pass holders who voted for a new lift talk about it all summer.

Do skiers need an account?

No. One anonymous tap, which works from a phone in a lift queue with gloves on.
