Ask the ConciergeWhy ChatGPT is wrong about ski resorts
We tested every major general-purpose AI on the same 20 ski questions. Here's what we found — and why a domain-specific concierge with live data wins every time.
| Question type | General AI (ChatGPT, Claude) | Ski Concierge |
|---|---|---|
| "How much snow does Verbier have right now?" | No real-time data | Live, ≤48h old |
| "What's the 2026/27 day pass at St. Anton?" | 2022 prices | Re-verified this season |
| "Cheapest Alps resort with a 2,500m+ summit?" | Vague suggestions | Filtered shortlist |
| "Best small Bulgarian resort for intermediates?" | Sparse coverage | Full database |
| "Which resort opened earliest this season?" | Can't know | Live season data |
Test it yourself — paste any of these into ChatGPT and into the Ski Concierge. Compare the answers side by side.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ski Concierge AI?
Ski Concierge is an AI assistant trained on Where to Ski's verified database of 675+ ski resorts across 41 countries. It answers natural-language questions about snow conditions, lift pass prices, terrain, family-friendliness, transport and seasonality — using live data, not a chatbot trained on stale 2019 brochures.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?
ChatGPT has no current snow depth, no verified 2026/27 lift prices, no live lift status. Ski Concierge queries our hybrid pipeline (RapidAPI, fnugg, ANMSM and Perplexity Sonar Pro) and returns ranked shortlists with sources and timestamps. The model is Google Gemini 3 Flash; the data is ours.
Is the Ski Concierge free to use?
Yes. Ask as many questions as you like. There is no signup, no paywall, no email capture — just open the assistant and type.
Which AI model powers Ski Concierge?
Google Gemini 3 Flash for the conversational layer, with Perplexity Sonar Pro feeding the underlying snow-data refresh pipeline. Results are cached for 24 hours via SHA-256 exact-match lookup to keep responses near-instant.
