SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Obergurgl (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 15%, indicating a recent upward trend. However, the current season's snowfall is significantly below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at only 65% and 75% of those benchmarks, respectively. The data also reveals considerable year-to-year variability, with 2023 standing out as an anomalously high snowfall year, more than double the current season's total. This recent decline suggests increased volatility and a notable short-term decrease following a period of above-average snowfall.
