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 Keystone (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 119.5 cm, notably higher than the 30-year average of 101.5 cm, indicating a recent upward trend. The 2020 season was an outlier with significantly lower snowfall at 91.8 cm, but subsequent years have rebounded above both the 5-year and 30-year averages. The current season's snowfall, however, is tracking below both recent and long-term averages, at 71% of the 5-year and 84% of the 30-year norms, suggesting a notable short-term decline following several strong years.

Keystone Snow History

Average annual snowfall is 296cm with an average of 135 snowfall days per season. The table below shows monthly averages across 30 seasons of archive data (modeled snowpack at mid-elevation).
