SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Mont Orford (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
Recent snowfall has trended below the long-term 30-year average, with the 5-year average at 147.1 cm compared to the 30-year average of 165.9 cm, indicating a modest decline in overall snowfall. However, the current season stands out as an anomaly, recording 152.3 cm, which is 23% above the recent 5-year average and 9% above the 30-year average. This suggests a significant rebound in snowfall this season following several years of lower-than-average totals. Variability remains notable, with the 2022 season also showing a spike, but the general pattern over the past five years has been one of reduced snowfall relative to historical norms.
