Multi-Model Comparison

Understand if there is high or low confidence in the forecast. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the forecast and see if the global and regional weather models are in tight agreement or if there is a wide range of potential outcomes over the next 15 days.

PEAKS Model

PEAKS is our in-house forecast model 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. Every precipitation, temperature, and wind forecast in OpenSnow will be powered by PEAKS for the 2025-2026 winter season.
