Choosing the right base usually comes before choosing ski days, and group ability usually comes before a big circuit goal. For changing facts such as lift status, slope openings, prices and circuit availability, use official sources before booking or skiing.
Keep the checklist open while comparing places. It helps you avoid booking around a circuit or pass assumption that still needs checking.
