Cut pistes down the fall line, string lifts to the summits, and keep thousands of skiers happy through storms, thaws and powder days.
Every map is built from how real resorts in its region sit in the land: a village on a valley floor, a station high in a lake basin, a town on a sunny terrace above a deep valley, a volcano rising from farmland. Neighbouring valleys sit over the cols, waiting for you to link them.
Towers go where the terrain needs them. Each lift has its own capacity, speed and wind limit, so a gale shuts the gondola while the T-bar keeps running. Add a mid-station halfway up and skiers start using the middle of the mountain.
Hotels fill when the snow is good. Bakeries, après bars, a spa and an ice rink bring guests back. Cars and ski buses run the valley road, and when the snow melts, hikers and bikers take over the lifts.
Building is quick and visual. Running the place is where it gets interesting: water for the snow guns, groomers on the night shift, avalanche control after a storm, ticket prices against the rival resort, staff, loans, and seasons that get a little warmer every year. Every guest has a skill level and an opinion, and tells you what they think.
Liftonia is a ski resort tycoon and management game. You plan pistes and lifts on mountains modelled on real ski regions, make and groom snow, grow the village with hotels and après bars, and run the resort through a simulated winter and summer: weather, avalanches, prices, staff and thousands of guests.

Generated mountains shaped like real regions: Tyrol, Valais, Savoie, the Dolomites, Hokkaido, Colorado, the BC Coast Mountains, Vermont and Scandinavia. Each one has its own elevations, snow, weather and village setting.
