"The OpenSnow app is an indispensable tool. It is well worth the subscription considering you get access to a 10-day HIGHLY accurate forecast. It's a small price to pay for finding fresh powder."

"Weather forecasting for the mountains takes extra focus, analysis, and precision, which is exactly what OpenSnow provides. The app is incredible, even for super weather nerds like myself."

"Any weather app can give a mediocre forecast for a mountain town, but only OpenSnow provides a good idea of actual mountain ski conditions. As a powder hunter that hits the slopes >30 days per season, OpenSnow is my go-to source for planning where I ski."

How does OpenSnow make its forecasts?
The weather forecasts in OpenSnow are created by our proprietary PEAKS model, producing forecasts 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. Learning from past storms is what human meteorologists do, but unlike humans, PEAKS can forecast for every location on Earth and provide updates within a few seconds.
