A Ruby snow/ski report API wrapper
ski-report uses the xmlsimple gem, so be sure to install that first.
$ gem install xml-simple
require './ski_report'
# SkiReport.fetch([state]) #=> returns a report with an array of resorts
SkiReport.fetch 'Colorado'
SkiReport.fetch 'California'
A resort has the following properties available as methods:
- name - name of the resort
- updated - when the report was last updated
- status - open status, e.g. 'Temporarily Closed'
- conditions - surface conditions, e.g. 'Packed Powder'
- base - a hash
- :depth - snow depth at base
- :metric - metric of base snow depth, e.g. 'inches'
- snowfall - a hash
- :amount - snowfall in the last 48 hours
- :metric - metric of 48hr snowfall, e.g. 'feet'
report = SkiReport.fetch 'Colorado'
report.resorts.each do |resort|
puts "#{resort.name} - Status: #{resort.status} - Base: #{resort.base[:depth]} #{resort.base[:metric]}"
