SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Steamboat Ski Resort (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, with the 5-year average (287.0 cm) well above the 30-year average (224.1 cm), indicating a recent upward trend. Notably, the 2022 season saw an exceptional spike to 371.4 cm, standing out as an anomaly compared to surrounding years. However, the current season's snowfall is 73% of the recent 5-year average and 94% of the 30-year average, reflecting a marked decrease from recent highs and falling below both short- and long-term norms. This suggests heightened variability and a potential shift away from the elevated snowfall observed in the early 2020s.
