Skiing from Manchester

All 94 resorts we cover, ranked by how much snow quality your money buys once the cost of getting there from Manchester is counted. The order is different from every other departure city on the site, which is rather the point.

Pre-season — snow reliability. There is no meaningful snow on the models yet, so resorts are ranked on how snow-sure they are: altitude adjusted for latitude, glacier cover and the size of the ski area. Live scoring resumes automatically once the snow arrives. How we rank
