Snow Report

Snow forecasts for about 4,700 ski resorts worldwide, with the base and summit side by side.

Commands

Search Resorts

Search by resort, region or country. With nothing typed, you see your favorites, then a list of popular resorts.

Each resort shows:

• Snowfall at the base and summit: the past 24 hours and 7 days, and the next 24 hours, 72 hours and 7 days. Base and summit are never averaged.
• The mountain right now: sun or moon, cloud, fog in low visibility, falling snow or rain, and wind streaks in high wind. A Fresh powder badge appears after 10 cm or more in 24 hours.
• Conditions: temperature, wind and gusts (flagged red in high wind), and the freezing level.
• A 7-day outlook with daily snowfall and temperatures.

From the actions (⌘K) you can favorite a resort (⌘.), open its website, search for webcams, refresh the forecast (⌘R) and correct its elevations (⌘E).

Favorites in Menu Bar

Shows your first favorite's summit snowfall for the next 24 hours, refreshed every 30 minutes. The dropdown lists all your favorites; click one to open it. To change which resort is in the menu bar, use Show in Menu Bar on a favorite in Search Resorts.

Add Resort

Add somewhere that isn't listed, by name, coordinates and base and top elevation. Edit or delete it later from Search Resorts (⌘E).

Settings

Units: metric (cm, °C, m, km/h) or imperial (in, °F, ft, mph).

Good to know

• Forecasts are from weather models, not reports from the resorts. Snow depth isn't shown, because models can't estimate it reliably for a ski slope. The past week's snowfall is shown instead.
• Base and top elevations come from the resort's mapped lifts and runs. If they look wrong, correct them with Edit Elevations (⌘E). About 400 resorts have no lifts mapped, so they show a single forecast until you add elevations.
• Indoor and grass slopes aren't included, since there's no weather to forecast.
