Abstract: Endorsed as an asset by businesses, reputation as a resource appears to be overlooked by ski resorts. One of the main reasons is the lack of knowledge and measurement tool. Academic scholarship relating to the benefits of reputation for an organisation provides a sound justification for the development of a measurement tool tailored to ski resorts. This article explores the stages involved in designing a measurement scale, based on information collected from 803 respondents at five ski resorts in the Isère department. We carried out exploratory and then confirmatory factorial analysis on two separate samples in order to develop a measurement scale based on four factors: organisational values, territorial resources, fame, and inhabitants. This factorial approach to reputation provides ski resorts with new avenues to leverage their reputation rather than simply live with it.
