SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Lech-Oberlech-Zürs (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 17%, indicating a modest upward trend in recent snowfall. However, significant year-to-year variability is evident, with 2023 experiencing an anomalously high snowfall of 428.1 cm, more than double the 5-year average, while 2020 saw a notably low total of 91 cm. The current season's snowfall is substantially below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at only 41% and 48% of those benchmarks, respectively, marking a sharp decline from recent years. This pattern highlights both increased variability and the presence of significant anomalies within the observed period.
