SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Loveland Ski Area (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 been significantly higher than the 30-year average, indicating an upward trend in recent snowfall. The most recent seasons have consistently exceeded the long-term norm, with the 5-year average at 197.3 cm compared to the 30-year average of 165.1 cm. Despite this overall increase, the current season's snowfall is notably lower than both the recent 5-year and long-term averages, representing only 76% and 91% of those benchmarks, respectively. This suggests a recent decline following several years of above-average snowfall.
