The company has developed a special guide to the country's ski resorts. It includes information on 180 Russian complexes, piste maps with markings by difficulty, opening hours and the location of the lifts.

«The application will tell you about the weather on the top of the mountain, and also using a precipitation map, it will clarify whether snowfall is expected on a certain slope and when it will end. Meteum 2.0 allows you to build such an accurate forecast - the only technology in the world which algorithms are based not only on these devices and weather stations, but also on messages from users,» the developers say.

In order to find out information about the weather in resorts by heights and to receive data from cameras on the slopes, it is enough to type in the search box a query with the name of the mountain complex. The application also contains information about food and entertainment facilities at the resorts.

On request "ski resorts in Russia", Yandex will display a selection of popular resorts with filters by destination and seasonality. By clicking on a resort, you can see its description in the thematic block, how it is more convenient to get there from your city, compare prices for hotels and air tickets.
