There may not be much white stuff in the High Country yet, at least the real stuff, but we are picking up a little bit of snow headed to Colorado’s mountains this weekend! This is great news, as many local ski resorts will be opening up in the coming weeks, with or without Mother Nature’s cooperation. If you aren’t aware, we offer a suite of ski forecast products powered by machine learning called PowderCAST. Read on to learn more and get a jump start on the first “POW day” of the season, whenever that may be!

It’s a beautiful time of year! Below are recent live webcams from various ski resorts. The fall colors are bountiful in the mountains right now. It’s getting into mid-October, the sun is shining, and wait… temperatures are in the 80’s?! At this point, we’re all wondering, “where’s the snow?”

PowderCAST is already monitoring upcoming atmospheric conditions in Colorado’s mountains, including a chance of snow this weekend for some resorts. Our cutting-edge ski forecasts go dormant every year from June through September to conserve computational resources (does anyone actually ski AND enjoy it during those months?). We’re happy to announce that PowderCAST is back in operation as of October 1st!

Here is what you need to know about PowderCAST:

  • LONG-LEAD PREDICTIONS: Track incoming powder for the next six days
  • EVERY SINGLE RESORT: 22 Colorado ski resorts are available
  • ALL THE WEATHER THAT MATTERS: All the important forecast parameters, including wind chill, snow amounts, and probability of precipitation
  • MULTIPLE ELEVATIONS: Our forecasts cover the base, mid mountain, and the top of each resort
  • A PLETHORA OF FORECASTS: More than 180 forecast maps and graphics are available
  • THE MOST ACCURATE: Machine learning and twice daily updates give you the most accurate forecasts possible
  • ONE-STOP SHOP: All of the forecasts are accessible from a single webpage

 

Finding the next “POW Day” is easier than ever with PowderCAST. We hope you enjoy!


DISCLAIMER: Mountain weather is inherently difficult to predict and can change rapidly. We are not liable for how you use our forecasts. Exercise common sense and over-prepare when hitting the slopes. We cannot stress enough that people can and do die due to weather while skiing Colorado’s mountains.
