SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Les Arcs (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 slightly exceeded the 30-year average, indicating a modest upward trend in recent seasons. However, the current season's snowfall is notably below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at only 90% and 94% of those benchmarks, respectively. The 2023 season stands out as an anomaly with exceptionally high snowfall, while other recent years have remained closer to long-term norms. This variability suggests increased fluctuations in annual snowfall, with the current season marking a return to below-average conditions.
