Running a ski resort means dealing with bureaucracy. Eight government regulations apply to your resort. You choose which ones to comply with — but ignoring them has consequences.
- Each regulation has a daily compliance cost (you pay to follow the rules)
- Non-compliance carries a penalty risk (fine if you get inspected)
- Each violation adds 5% daily inspection chance
- Each violation costs 15 reputation per day
- Each violation reduces visitors by 3%
- Full compliance means 0% inspection risk plus all bonuses active

- Total daily cost: 17,500€/day
- Inspection risk: 0%
- Reputation loss: 0/day
- Visitor reduction: 0%
- Bonuses: All active (eco score, morale, building durability, extra visitors)
- Daily savings: 17,500€/day
- Inspection risk: 40% per day (8 violations × 5%)
- Reputation loss: 120/day (8 × 15)
- Visitor reduction: 24% (8 × 3%)
- Maximum fine per inspection: 86,000€
At 40% inspection chance, you'll get inspected roughly every 2-3 days, paying up to 86,000€ each time. Plus losing 120 reputation daily. It's not worth it.
When an inspection happens:
- The game rolls a random check each day based on your violation count
- If the check fails, you're inspected
- You pay the penalty fine for every regulation you're violating
- The fine is deducted from your cash immediately
- If you can't pay, you go into debt
- Labor Laws (1,500€) — cheapest, prevents strikes, boosts morale
- Noise Pollution (1,000€) — cheapest, easy visitor satisfaction boost
- Slope Safety (2,000€) — prevents slope closures, high penalty risk
- Waste Management (1,800€) — eco score boost
- Building Code (2,500€) — saves money on building repairs long-term
- Accessibility (2,200€) — extra visitor capacity
- Environmental Protection (3,000€) — big eco score boost
- Wildlife Protection (3,500€) — most expensive, but +10 eco score and nature tours
Almost never. The penalties and reputation loss compound quickly. The only scenario where non-compliance makes sense is if you're so broke that 17,500€/day would bankrupt you — and even then, the fines from inspections would bankrupt you faster.
- Environmental Protection + Waste Management + Wildlife Protection together give +20 eco score
- Labor Laws compliance boosts staff morale by 10, stacking with morale actions
- Full compliance earns 1 Génépis per day from the Génépis system
- Eco score bonuses from compliance contribute toward the Green Resort achievement (80+ eco score)
- Comply with everything as soon as you can afford it
- If you have to choose, start with the cheapest regulations first
- The inspection chance is per day — even 5% means you'll get caught eventually
- Reputation loss from non-compliance is permanent until you earn it back
- Opting out of a regulation you were compliant with shows a confirmation dialog — take it seriously
