On the other hand, they did state it’s a developer focused search product for technical & factual questions. They’re aiming to make a bot that doesn’t provide opinions, or long convoluted conversations. On that basis your query isn’t a great representation of that.
But what should the answer be anyway? Winter? When there’s snow? When you have a break from work and enough money for a lift pass? When you’re feeling strong and healthy? Should the bot ask you clarifying questions to determine that?
If you asked a person this question they’d either ask you clarifying questions regarding what you actually want to know, or give you a vague answer based on where and when they like to go skiing.
Running this question again, I got:
> For example, ski resorts at Lake Tahoe usually open after Thanksgiving and close in late April, with February offering the best skiing conditions. In Colorado, the ski season generally runs from mid-November through mid-April, with February being the best time to ski due to the deepest base depth of snow on the mountains and plenty of powder still pouring in. However, early snowfall can bring early openings, and the weather can be unpredictable. In Park City, Utah, the best time to ski is from December to March, with January being the busiest month due to the Sundance Film Festival.
