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

AI Forecaster is 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 Forecaster 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: Premium

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.
