SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Brian Head Resort (rockies), we combine seven global weather models using weights learned from daily forecast verification — comparing each model's prediction to measured snowfall (SNOTEL, resort reports, ERA5).
- 1.Horizon buckets: days 1–3, 4–7, and 8–14 each get separate weights — short-range skill differs from long-range.
- 2.Regional calibration: weights come from verified error in this geography (Rockies, Alps, Japan, etc.), recalculated weekly.
- 3.Ground truth only: we never grade a forecast against another model — only against measured snow.

5-Yr Avg by Now
Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has increased significantly, with the 5-year average (201.6 cm) well above the 30-year average (147.2 cm). This upward trend is driven by an exceptionally high snowfall in 2022 (367.7 cm), which stands out as a major anomaly. However, the most recent season's snowfall (129.1 cm) is notably lower, representing only 72% of the 5-year average and just below the long-term average at 98%. This suggests a return to more typical snowfall levels following a period of above-average accumulation.
