Snow condition insight

Updated todayHigh confidence

Integrated snowpack, fresh-snow, operation and thermal assessment.

The interpretation combines the same normalized snow facts used by the depth, slopes and lifts cards, then applies freshness and contradiction checks.

Lower snow20 cm
Upper snow99 cm
Fresh snow0 cm
Mountain access15%
Useful upper baseMinimal seasonal operationNo material fresh snowFreeze–thaw cycle
The upper mountain has a useful reported base of 99 cm, although exposed and lower terrain may vary. Snow cover is strongly altitude-dependent, with 79 cm more reported on the upper mountain than on lower slopes. No material new-snow layer is reported in the current resort data. Only minimal seasonal operation is indicated; winter-ski access should not be inferred from residual snow depth. Temperatures cross 0 °C, favouring firmer early surfaces and later softening, especially below the freezing level.

The precipitation amount and probability do not agree, so the wet-weather signal has limited confidence. Use the period cards for timing.

Snow accumulation

Current modelled snowfall signal.

A model map gives spatial context for today’s fresh-snow opportunity; local value still depends on altitude and exposure.

Modelled snow signal
Use this as a regional opportunity layer, then verify with resort-level depth, forecast and open-terrain data.

Three-day accumulation

Short-range snowfall accumulation.

Three-day accumulation helps identify whether a single snow pulse becomes a useful short-range snow cycle.
