When winter turns the world into a fascinating white splendor, the holiday season begins for many. Winter time is winter sports time! In the mountain regions of the northern hemisphere such as the Alps the ski season begins in December and does not end again until around April. On the other side of the globe, after the end of one season, the next can be continued.

Size of the ski areas
The measurement of the downhill kilometers in the ski areas has only been carried out since 2013 according to a uniform guideline and a recommendation by the association of international mountain railways operators (O.I.T.A.F). Since then, there have been some major downward corrections, especially in the Austrian ski areas, where the particularly wide slopes were charged with a surcharge.
In North America, ski resorts are officially measured by area in hectares.
