Maybe they expected more users were the type to live in warm places and travel to where the snow was rather than live in cold places where snow happens? That's all I can think of anyway. That'd probably make more sense for downhill skiers though...

People who live in SF but are trying to decide if they want to drive up to Tahoe on the weekend aren't going to care about trails within 30 minutes of their home since the closest ones are 3 hours away. The author appears not to live in SF, but I assume they live in a city that similarly doesn't have ski resorts locally but does have them within day trip distance and were simply too focused on their personal usecase.

Apparently he assumed that people prefer trails they've selected to "follow" in the app. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People prefer trails within 30 minutes of their home as opposed to what? Within 72 hours of their home? I am not sure if a user survey was needed to determine this obvious fact.
