SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise (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 9%, indicating a recent upward trend. However, the current season's snowfall is 9% below the recent 5-year average and nearly equal to the long-term 30-year average, suggesting a return to typical historical levels. The 2023 season stands out as an anomaly with significantly higher snowfall, while other recent years have remained close to or slightly above long-term norms. Overall, variability has increased, but the current season does not continue the elevated snowfall seen in the recent short-term trend.
