Tools (16)

• find_ski_resorts

  Ranks ski resorts for one traveler or group: terrain that fits their ability (beginner/intermediate/advanced/expert, or a mixed group), snow and crowds for their dates, travel from their home airport or city (drive or fly), and their Epic/Ikon pass. Returns the reasons for each pick plus lodging, flight and rental links. Use for 'where should I ski' questions.

• ski_conditions

  Today's 0-100 'ski today' score (fresh snow, base depth, weather, crowds), the next 7 days of summit snowfall and temperature, crowd outlook, terrain mix, passes and gateway airport for one ski resort.

• search_beach_resorts

  Search Veabird's 1,400+ beach resorts (Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico's Pacific coast, Hawaii) by name, town, island, region or country. Returns ids, today's headline conditions, photos and page links.

• beach_conditions

  Full conditions for one beach resort on one date: 0-100 beach score with per-metric scores, sargassum, weather, water temperature, waves and rip currents, UV, crowds, hurricane risk, holidays. For today, also live conditions and alerts. Days 0-15 are forecasts, later dates climate outlooks.

• rank_beaches

  Rank beach resorts by 0-100 beach score for a date, optionally within a region, island or country, or a radius around a resort. With `from`, also gives each resort's airports and a flight search. Use for 'where should I go to the beach' questions.

• better_nearby_beaches

  For a beach resort and date (within 16 days), nearby resorts with a meaningfully higher beach score: swap suggestions when sargassum or weather is bad.

• sargassum_forecast

  Sargassum (seaweed) outlook for a beach resort: the next 16 days in detail plus a weekly outlook for coming months, barrier and cleanup programs, and the model's source and held-out skill.

• hurricane_threats

  Active Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes (NOAA NHC) with position, intensity and track, and which Veabird beach resorts are threatened.

• travel_advisory

  US State Department travel advisory level (1-4) and summary for a country or a beach resort's country, plus Veabird's local safety notes.

• tides

  High and low tide times and heights at a beach resort for the next days (Open-Meteo sea level model, heights relative to mean sea level).

• sargassum_model_skill

  How well Veabird's sargassum model performs on held-out years (AUC, Brier score, calibration) versus baselines.

• plan_trip

  Everything to book one trip to a ski or beach resort: conditions for the dates, places to stay (live nightly prices with photos where available, plus rental and hotel searches), flights from the traveler's airport to the best gateway, and extras (lift tickets, ski rentals, tours, car hire, insurance).

• find_lodging

  Places to stay near a ski or beach resort (or any 'lat,lon') for given dates and party: live nightly prices, ratings and photos where available, filtered by budget, homes from local property managers booked direct (no booking-site fee) where Veabird has them, plus hotel and vacation-rental searches.

• find_flights

  Pre-filled flight searches from the traveler's home airport to the best gateway airports for a ski or beach resort (or any airport code), with the drive from each airport to the resort.

• property_demand

  For a vacation rental or hotel owner: how busy each night will be around their property for the next weeks (concerts, festivals, carnivals, conventions, pro and college home games, public holidays and long weekends, weekends), compared with a typical night there. With their calendar's iCal export link (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Hostaway, Guesty, OwnerRez...) it marks booked and open nights; with their nightly rate it flags nights priced too low for the demand and suggests a range. Use when a host asks whether their price is too low, what's happening in town, or when to raise rates.
