How these times were computed
Each drive is routed over OpenStreetMap road data, routed with the Valhalla engine from the airport to the resort base, on the roads that stay open in winter, and rounded to five minutes. Typical driving time with no traffic, on the roads that stay open in winter, rounded to five minutes. Chain controls, storms and resort-weekend traffic add to it. Where a resort is car-free or a seasonal pass closes the short way, the table says so.
