This is cool! I built https://blizzalert.com a while back which does part of this - sends an SMS with snowfall alerts for mountains that you're watching. I didn't think to match it up with flight costs. Nice job!

Out of curiosity (if you're willing to share), did you actually find a decent source for ski condition data, or did you end up having to scrape and parse?

Onthesnow / mountain news has good data and APIs, but I don't know how easy it is to get access (you have to go through a contact form), where I was using it, the contract had been setup many years before I joined.
