SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Val d'Isère (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 slightly exceeded the 30-year average, indicating a modest upward trend in recent short-term snowfall. However, the current season's snowfall is significantly below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 53% and 55% respectively, marking a notable anomaly. The data also reveals considerable year-to-year variability, with 2023 standing out as an exceptionally high snowfall year, contrasting sharply with lower totals in 2020 and the current season. This pattern suggests increasing volatility in annual snowfall, with occasional extreme seasons punctuating otherwise moderate trends.
