Black line = verified SnowSure™ blend (not a simple average). Weights update weekly from measured snowfall at SNOTEL stations and resort reports.
SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Furano (japan), 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 declined compared to the 30-year average, with the 5-year mean at 236.2 cm versus the long-term average of 254.1 cm, indicating a downward trend. Despite this, the most recent season saw a notable increase, reaching 123% of the 5-year average and 114% of the 30-year average, marking it as an anomalously high snowfall year relative to recent history. This suggests increased variability, with the current season standing out as a significant positive deviation from the prevailing downward trend.
