SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Sierra at Tahoe (sierra), 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 22%, indicating a recent upward trend. The 2022 season stands out as a significant anomaly, with snowfall more than double the 30-year average, while the other years remain closer to or below both averages. The current season's snowfall is notably lower, at just 69% of the 5-year average and 85% of the 30-year average, marking a sharp decline from recent highs. This suggests increased variability in snowfall, with the current season representing a significant drop compared to both short- and long-term trends.
