Founder of Intski
Indrek Eenmaa
Indrek Eenmaa is the founder of Intski. He has skied since he was six, took a long break, and came back for good. The name began as a joke in a Facebook chat while he was planning a ski trip: his nickname is Ints, so the site became Intski. He has worked in marketing and IT for more than 20 years and runs Intski from Estonia as a resort guide built on numbers rather than brochures. He has skied a great deal in the Alps, in Austria, France and Italy among others, and just as much in Scandinavia.
How Intski articles are made
Numbers first. Every figure in an article comes from the Intski database of 258 resorts: slope kilometres, lifts, elevations, lift pass prices and opening dates. Tables are checked against the database by a script before anything is published.
Sources you can check. Lift pass prices and opening dates link to the page they came from, in the price index and the opening dates. Where we do not hold data, the article says so instead of guessing.
AI helps with the writing, not with the facts. We use AI tools to help draft articles. The facts do not come from the AI: every number is taken from our database and checked against it by a script before publishing.
Independent. Intski is not owned by or affiliated with any resort, and resorts cannot pay for a ranking. Found a mistake? Write to info@intski.com and we will correct it.
