SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Laax (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.

The current season's snowfall is particularly low, reaching only 28% of the 5-year average and 20% of the 30-year average, marking it as a significant anomaly. Notably, the 2023 season was an outlier with exceptionally high snowfall, but this was not sustained, as surrounding years were well below historical norms. Overall, recent seasons reflect increased variability and a marked decline compared to long-term averages.
