Legal Protocols
01. Monetization Protocol
WARNING: WE LIKE MONEY. IT BUYS LIFT TICKETS.
JAPOW Ski Resorts is a participant in various affiliate programs. This means if you click a link to book a hotel, buy gear, or reserve a flight, we may receive a commission.
This comes at ZERO COST TO YOU. It is how we pay for the servers that host this raw data. If you have a problem with us eating, close this tab immediately.
02. Surveillance Data
We are not the NSA. We do not care about your personal life. However, for this machine to function, we collect:
- Local Storage: We save your "Stash" (saved resorts) directly on your device. We cannot see this. If you clear your cache, your stash dies.
- Analytics: We use privacy-focused analytics to see which resorts are popular. No personal data is collected or sold.
- Contact Forms: If you use the Contact Form, we see what you type. Obviously.
03. Cookie Policy
We use cookies. Not the delicious kind. The digital kind that makes the internet work.
By using JAPOW Ski Resorts, you acknowledge that we may store small text files on your device to remember your preferences (like filters). You can disable them in your browser, but the site might break.
04. Liability Waiver
READ THIS CAREFULLY.
Skiing and snowboarding are dangerous activities. Backcountry travel involves risk of death, avalanche, and injury.
JAPOW Ski Resorts provides information for entertainment and planning purposes only. We are not responsible if you get lost, hurt, or stuck in a tree well. Always hire a certified guide. Always check official avalanche forecasts.
