Black line = verified SnowSure™ blend (not a simple average). Weights update weekly from measured snowfall at SNOTEL stations and resort reports.
SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Snowbasin (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 increased significantly compared to the 30-year average, with the 5-year mean (248.7 cm) exceeding the long-term mean (192.1 cm) by nearly 30%. The most recent seasons have shown considerable variability, including a peak in 2022 (351.5 cm) and notably lower totals in 2020 and 2021. The current season's snowfall is below the recent 5-year average (77%) but aligns with the 30-year average (100%), indicating a return to longer-term norms after several above-average years. This pattern suggests heightened variability and occasional anomalies, but an overall upward trend in recent snowfall compared to historical levels.
