Powly

Compare 2-5 ski resorts side by side: piste kilometers by difficulty (blue/red/black), elevation range and vertical drop, lift count, glacier status, season dates with open/closed status, current snow depth, 7-day snow forecast, accepted ski passes, and (optionally) driving time from a starting city. Use this whenever the user weighs several specific resorts against each other ("Sölden oder Ischgl?", "which is better for X, A or B?", "compare A, B and C"). Fuzzy name matching is supported.

compare_resorts

Get the full text and metadata of a specific ski resort by its stable id (returned from the search tool or as stable_id field of any other tool). Returns elevation, piste breakdown, lifts, season dates, ski passes, and current snow forecast as a Markdown summary plus structured metadata.

fetch

Find the best upcoming powder days at ski resorts reachable from any city — by car, or with travelMode "fly"/"any" door to door with a direct flight (car to a departure airport, flight into an Alpine airport, car to the resort). Analyzes snow forecasts and travel times to identify dates with significant snowfall (default: 10+ cm). Automatically filters out resorts whose season has ended (or not yet started) on the forecast date, so every returned suggestion is actionable. Returns a list of dates with the top resorts for each day, sorted by expected snowfall. Use travelMode "any" for "where can I get to fastest where it snows the most", especially from places far from the Alps (Hamburg, Berlin, London, Amsterdam).

find_powder_days

Get detailed information about a specific ski resort including elevation range, season dates with open/closed status, piste breakdown by difficulty (blue/red/black km), lift types (gondolas/chairlifts/draglifts), operating hours, glacier status, ski passes, driving times from the main cities around the Alps, and snow forecast. Supports fuzzy name matching.

get_resort_details

Get the driving route from any starting city to a specific ski resort, rendered as an interactive route map. Returns driving duration, distance in km, and the route geometry. Use this when the user asks how to get to a resort, how long the drive is, or wants to see the route/way to a ski resort on a map. Routing is computed live via OpenRouteService (same engine as powly.de). With includeFlight=true it also returns the fastest car + direct flight + car option (via, legs, total minutes, whether it beats driving, a flight-search link) — use that when the user asks about flying, or starts far from the Alps.

get_route

Get the snow forecast for a specific resort, a region (e.g., "tirol"), or a country. Returns daily snowfall in cm, temperature min/max, and total snowfall for each resort. Forecast data covers up to 16 days from Open-Meteo. Results are sorted by total expected snowfall (most snow first). By default includes all resorts regardless of season; pass onlyOpen=true to restrict to resorts whose season covers the forecast dates (useful when the user wants actionable near-term skiing options).

get_snow_forecast

Search ski resorts in the Alps by name, region, or country. Returns a minimal list of matching resorts with id, title, and canonical Powly URL. Use the returned id with the fetch tool to get full resort details (elevation, pistes, lifts, season, snow forecast). Prefer the richer search_resorts tool when filtering by travel time, piste size, or ski pass is needed.

search

Find ski resorts in the Alps near any starting city, or filter them by piste size, elevation, snow, country, glacier or ski pass. Covers all 1,479 resorts in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France and Slovenia. Returns each resort with driving time from the given city, piste kilometers by difficulty, elevation range, season dates with a live open/closed flag, current snow depth on the mountain, and the 7-day snowfall forecast.

search_resorts

List which Alpine ski resorts open (or close) their season on a given day or in an upcoming window — answers "which resorts open this week?", "what opens on November 29?", "when does the season start in Tirol?" and, with type="closing", "which resorts close soonest?". Results are grouped by date; pass a home city to get them sorted by driving time from there. A resort with estimated=true has a date derived from last season, not announced yet — call it expected when quoting it.

get_season_openings

Current ski pass and season pass coverage for the Alps, maintained for the 2026/27 season. Use it when a question is about which pass covers some resorts, whether resorts share a pass, or what a pass includes. Answers "which pass covers both Sölden and Ischgl?" (the Snow Card Tirol does), "is Zermatt on the Ikon Pass?" and "what resorts are in the SuperSkiCard?". Pass "resorts" (2-8 names) for the first direction or "pass" for the second. Knows 50 passes on 500 resorts: regional season passes such as Snow Card Tirol, SuperSkiCard, Ski amadé, Magic Pass, Dolomiti Superski, Ländle Card and TopSkiPass Kärnten & Osttirol, plus Ikon and Epic.
