*Insight:*
|
| 73 |
-
*Total Kilometers demonstrates the strongest correlation with resort ratings (r = 0.690)*, followed by Lifts & Cable Cars (r = 0.682) and Altitude (r = 0.629).
|
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
-
This indicates that resort size is the most important predictor of resort quality. Larger resorts with more trail kilometers offer greater variety and options for skiers of all skill levels. Infrastructure (lifts) and elevation also play significant roles, with all three factors showing strong positive correlations with quality ratings.

*Insight:*
|
| 87 |
-
There is a *clear, strong positive relationship between altitude and resort quality*.
|
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
-
- *Lowest-rated resorts* (Rating ≤ 2.0): Average altitude ~1,300 meters
|
| 90 |
-
- *Highest-rated resorts* (Rating = 5.0): Average altitude ~1,900 meters
|
| 91 |
-
- *Altitude difference: Approximately **600 meters (46% increase)*
|
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
-
Higher-elevation resorts consistently receive better ratings. This substantial elevation difference translates to better snow quality, reliability, and overall skiing conditions. The correlation between altitude and rating is strong (r = 0.629).

*Insight:*
|

-
*Europe dominates the high-quality ski resort market, accounting for **79.1% of all top-rated resorts* (393 out of 497).
|
| 106 |
-
|
| 107 |
-
- *Europe*: 393 resorts (79.1%)

|
| 111 |
-
- *South America*: 4 resorts (0.8%)
|
| 112 |
-
|
| 113 |
-
This geographic concentration suggests that European regions possess unique advantages for ski resort development—including Alpine geography, consistent snow conditions, established ski culture, and mature infrastructure.

## Final Conclusions
|
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
*Main Research Question:*
|
| 120 |
-
"How do physical terrain characteristics—including altitude, total trail kilometers, and number of lifts and cable cars—affect ski resort quality ratings?"
|
| 121 |
|
| 122 |
-
*Answer:
|
| 123 |
|
| 124 |
### Key Findings:
|
| 125 |
|
| 126 |
-
1. *Resort size is the dominant quality predictor*
|
| 127 |
-
- Total kilometers show the strongest correlation with ratings (r = 0.690)
|
| 128 |
-
- Larger resorts offer more variety and options for different skill levels
|
| 129 |
-
- More trails = better experience and higher satisfaction
|
| 130 |
-
|
| 131 |
-
2. *Infrastructure quality is critically important*
|
| 132 |
-
- Number of lifts shows very strong correlation (r = 0.682)
|
| 133 |
-
- More lifts = better accessibility, reduced wait times, and improved experience
|
| 134 |
-
- Modern lift systems are essential for high ratings
|
| 135 |
-
|
| 136 |
-
3. *Altitude significantly affects quality*
|
| 137 |
-
- Elevation shows strong correlation with ratings (r = 0.629)
|
| 138 |
-
- Top-rated resorts average 600m higher elevation
|
| 139 |
-
- Higher altitude = better snow quality and longer seasons
|
| 140 |
-
|
| 141 |
-
4. *Geographic concentration of quality*
|
| 142 |
-
- Europe leads with 79% of high-rated resorts
|
| 143 |
-
- Location matters: certain regions have natural and infrastructural advantages
|
| 144 |
-
|
| 145 |
|
