PEAKS Model

PEAKS is our in-house weather forecast system that is up to 50% more accurate in mountain terrain.

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

As of November 2025, every precipitation, temperature, and wind forecast on OpenSnow, globally, is powered by PEAKS.

Bottom Line: Get higher confidence from more accurate predictions in the mountains.

Tier: Base & Premium

11-15 Day Forecasts

View detailed 11-15 day forecasts for any location on Earth in OpenSnow.

To extend our forecasts out to 11-15 days, we process data from additional models, including the European AI (AIFS Ensemble), American AI (GFS Graphcast), and American Ensemble (GEFS).

Bottom Line: Start planning farther in advance with 15-day forecasts.

Tier: Premium

AI Overviews

AI Overviews are a description of the weather and snow conditions at popular ski resorts around the world.

The human forecasters at OpenSnow can’t cover all places at all times, so we created AI-written predictions to provide an in-depth summary of what skiers or riders will likely experience on the mountain.

We are NOT replacing our local "Daily Snow" experts with AI. Instead, the AI Overview is a way for us to provide even more context and conditions information to help you plan your days on the mountain.

Bottom Line: Read frequently updated forecasts for popular ski resorts.

Tier: Base & Premium

Forecast Range (Multi-Model Comparison)

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the forecast from every global and regional weather model in OpenSnow.

The Forecast Range graphs 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. If all models show a similar forecast (lines that are very close to each other), there is higher confidence in the forecast, and vice versa.

Bottom Line: Get a transparent view of the data behind the forecast.

Tier: Premium

Global Storm Forecast Map

See the precipitation type forecast in 2D or 3D for any location, worldwide, for the next 15 days.

We take raw weather data from the ECMWF (European) model and optimize it for fast loading and global viewing (over land and water).

Bottom Line: See the storm outlook from the most accurate global forecast model.

Tier: Premium

Super-Res Radar + StormNet

Super-Res Radar is the highest-resolution radar data available for the continental United States, available at 159 radar stations which update every 3-4 minutes.

Add our "StormNet" overlay to see the real-time risk for lightning, hail, wind, and tornadoes, with predictions updated every 2 minutes.

Bottom Line: Receive alerts before severe weather and view storms in high definition. 

Tier: Premium
