SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Galdhopiggen (scandinavia), 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 been significantly higher than the 30-year average, indicating an upward trend in recent snowfall. The most recent season, however, saw snowfall at just 65% of the 5-year average and 78% of the 30-year average, marking a notable decline compared to both short- and long-term norms. This suggests increased variability, with the current season representing a significant anomaly following several years of above-average snowfall.
