SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For The Remarkables (southern 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 declined compared to the 30-year average, with the recent 5-year mean at 14.8 cm versus the long-term average of 19.3 cm. The current season's snowfall is 92% of the 5-year average and only 71% of the 30-year average, indicating a notable shortfall. Significant year-to-year variability is evident, with a particularly low snowfall in 2021 (6.9 cm) and a peak in 2022 (25.3 cm), but the overall trend suggests a downward shift in snowfall relative to historical norms.
