Is It Skiable’s run-by-run snow forecast
A planned service for forecasting whether individual runs at Western ski resorts will be powder, corn, firm, or ice—and when they may ski best.
- For
- Skiers choosing when and where to ski
- Worth noticing
- The site says it will acknowledge missing data rather than invent a snow-condition reading.
Field notes
The explainer says the model would combine air temperature, snowfall, slope aspect and sun angle, overnight refreezing, grooming, and wind to label surfaces such as powder, corn, firm, or ice. The public map is explicitly marked as sample data, and the project says it will first recruit skiers at selected home mountains to report whether predictions match conditions. The page says broader access follows once those calls hold up against on-snow reports.
