Field notes
The Powder-o-Meter combines a short weather window with editorial judgments about resort terrain rather than treating snowfall totals as sufficient on their own. Older snow is discounted, forecast snow is weighted more heavily, and the page separates a 7 from a 10 based partly on whether sunlight follows the storm. It currently describes coverage of 25 mountains and uses mid-mountain weather data from Open-Meteo.
