SnowSure™ Forecast Range

Daily Snowfall Forecast by Model

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 Gletscherwelt Zillertal 3000 (alps), 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 exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 18%, indicating a recent upward trend. However, the current season's snowfall is significantly below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 51% and 60% of those benchmarks, respectively. The data also reveals considerable year-to-year variability, with 2023 standing out as an anomalously high snowfall year, followed by a sharp decline in 2024. This recent drop suggests increased volatility and highlights the importance of monitoring for potential shifts in snowfall patterns.
