SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Hochkönig Bergbahnen (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 nearly 10%, indicating a modest upward trend in recent snowfall. However, the data also reveals significant year-to-year variability, with snowfall ranging from a low of 80.3 cm in 2020 to a high of 310.7 cm in 2023. The most recent season saw a sharp decline to 100 cm, which is 36% below the 5-year average and 39% below the 30-year average, marking a notable anomaly after last year's peak. This suggests that while the longer-term trend has been slightly positive, recent seasons have experienced pronounced fluctuations and a significant short-term decrease.
