Recent Satellite Maps

Get a near-real-time view of the land to help better understand current conditions.

See if there is snow on a certain trail or mountain area, and what the landscape actually looks like within the last few days. The satellite data from the Sentinel-2 satellite constellation is available globally, updated approximately every 3-5 days, with the ability to view imagery up to 30 days in the past.

Precipitation by Model

View the snowfall and precipitation forecast for every model over the last three individual model runs in 12-hour and total storm timeframes.

The more the models agree for each timeframe in the chart, the higher the confidence in the forecast, and vice versa.

PEAKS Model

PEAKS is an AI (machine learning) model that is up to 50% more accurate in mountain terrain.

The model learns from past storms and transforms normal weather models (used by other apps) into sharper, more location-specific forecasts.

Snowmaking Forecast

The best measure of snowmaking conditions is something called the wet-bulb temperature. This is the combination of the actual air temperature and the amount of moisture in the air.

View the snowmaking (wet bulb temp) forecast in OpenSnow using our multi-model, forecast range charts for any ski resort location, worldwide.

11-15 Day Forecasts

Plan farther in advance with 15-day forecasts for any location on Earth.

To extend our forecasts out to 11-15 days, we now process data from additional models. This ensures that we present a multi-model approach and that you are not misled by the extended forecast from a single model.

Forecast Range

View individual forecasts from global and regional high-resolution weather models in OpenSnow. This includes forecasts from the GFS, ECMWF, HRRR, and ICON models, as well as the OpenSnow blend.

The graphs give you a behind-the-scenes look at the forecast and make it easier to see if the forecast models are in tight agreement or if there is a wide range of potential outcomes over the next 15 days.
