Worth noticing
The page says measurements combine buoys and people on shore across full seasons, but shows no actual readings.

Field notes

The homepage lays out three inputs to ski conditions: surface flatness, temperature by depth, and boat traffic by time and season. It says data collection involves buoys and people on shore over full seasons, and that methods are shared openly. The supplied page does not include readings or specific findings; its camper-photo section also says no photos have been added yet.
