SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Dodge Ridge (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 to 632.2 cm, notably higher than the 30-year average of 492.0 cm, indicating a recent upward trend. The 2022 season stands out as a significant anomaly with 1280.5 cm, more than double the 5-year average, while other years remain closer to or below the average. The current season's snowfall is 67% of the recent 5-year average and 86% of the 30-year average, reflecting a marked decrease from recent highs and falling below both short- and long-term norms. This suggests heightened variability in recent years, with the current season representing a downturn following an exceptional peak.
