# OpenSkiStats: Shredding Data Like Powder



[![GitHub Actions CI Tests Status](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/dhimmel/openskistats/tests.yaml?branch=main&label=actions&style=for-the-badge&logo=github&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/dhimmel/openskistats/actions/workflows/tests.yaml)

This project generates statistics on downhill ski slopes and areas from around the globe powered by the underlying OpenSkiMap/OpenStreetMap data.

The first application is the creation of roses showing the compass orientations of ski areas.



## Development



```shell

# download latest OpenSkiMap data

uv run openskistats download



# extract ski area metadata and metrics

uv run openskistats analyze



uv run openskistats visualize

uv run openskistats display



# quarto display

quarto render openskistats/webapp --output-dir="$(pwd)/data/webapp"

quarto preview openskistats/webapp  



# webserver for viewing http://localhost:8000

python -m http.server --directory=data/webapp

```



Commands that you will have to run less frequently:



```shell

# install the uv environment in uv.lock

uv sync --extra=dev



# install the pre-commit git hooks

pre-commit install

```

## Wild Ideas



- Table of all OpenStreetMap users that have contributed to ski areas, i.e. top skiers

- Display table webpage background of falling snowflakes ([examples](https://freefrontend.com/css-snow-effects/))

- Max slope v difficulty by region

- fix matplotlib super title spacing

- How many ski areas in the world, comparing to the Vanat report

- Total combined vert of ski areas by rank of ski area (how much do big resorts drive the aggregated metrics)

- fix snowflake alignment
