SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Copper Mountain (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
Recent snowfall has trended below both the 5-year and 30-year historical averages, with the current season reaching only 67% of the 5-year and 64% of the 30-year norms. The 5-year average itself (178.0 cm) is slightly lower than the long-term 30-year average (184.2 cm), indicating a modest downward trend in seasonal snowfall. No extreme anomalies are evident in the past five years, but the consistent shortfall relative to historical averages suggests a period of reduced snowfall.
