SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Whitefish Mountain 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 declined compared to the 30-year average, with the 5-year mean at 195.4 cm versus the long-term average of 220.7 cm. The most recent season recorded 200.7 cm, slightly above the 5-year average but still below the 30-year norm, indicating a modest short-term rebound within an overall downward trend. Notably, the 2021 season was an outlier with 235.9 cm, temporarily interrupting the general pattern of reduced snowfall. This suggests increased variability in recent years, with occasional high-snowfall seasons amid a broader decline.
