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 Sun Peaks (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
Snowfall over the past five years has remained relatively stable, with annual totals fluctuating between 174.3 cm and 208.5 cm, but consistently falling below both the 5-year and 30-year averages of 259.0 cm. The most recent season reached only 86% of the 5-year average and 97% of the 30-year average, indicating a notable shortfall. No significant upward or downward trend is evident, but the persistent underperformance relative to historical averages suggests a period of below-average snowfall.
