Where’s the snow, really?

Reading the board
Every page here says the same three things in the same order: the bet, how often it landed, and what a miss looked like. Learn it once on one mountain and the whole site reads.

That’s the whole instrument. No decimals, because ten winters can’t carry them — and no bet gets quoted without its busts in the next breath. How our odds work.

Lifts spinning
-
Every resort's record, window by window, with the busts named beside the bets. Each mountain's page also carries the nearest SNOTEL station's depth and how it has moved — an instrument in a clearing, not a resort snow report. A character map plots all 96 by snow, vertical and steep terrain, if you'd rather browse by feel.
Watching a mountain records the bet today; the emails switch on with the alert engine this fall. Where there's no station we say so, and the sensors read bare ground until the mountains open.
-
Dates, budget, crew, the passes you already hold. Constraints in, ranked mountains out — the odds are the ranking and the cost is broken out line by line.
Windows inside 16 days get refused, not guessed. Lift tickets read unpriced unless a pass covers them.
-
Which stretches of winter actually deliver, counted across every mountain we track — so your days off land where the record is.
Looking is open. Building your own season takes an email — that's the whole gate.
-
Every odd we quote is logged when it’s made and graded when its window closes — misses included. It’s the same page whether we look good on it or not.
Empty until late November, on purpose. Nothing has closed yet, so nothing has been graded.
Not switched on yet
Ropes still up
Parts of this mountain aren’t open. We’d rather rope them off than let you ski into them.
-
Alerts don’t send yet
Watching a mountain records the bet now, so the record starts today. The mail arrives with the alert engine this fall.
-
The scoreboard is empty
Nothing has been graded because no window has closed. The first one becomes gradeable November 22.
-
No accounts
A confirmed email is the whole identity. Nothing to log into — and the first confirmation may land in spam, since the sending address is new.
-
Nothing inside 16 days
Ask for next weekend and we’ll say no rather than guess. Counting seasons is an instrument for booking, not for packing.
You’re early — this is the first winter, and you’re among the first riders outside the shop. If something reads wrong or breaks, that’s the useful part. Tell us and it gets fixed before the next chair loads.
Before the ropes drop
Leave an address and we’ll tell you when the alerts switch on and the first grades post. That’s the list — nothing else rides on it.
Rare emails, only when there’s something worth opening. That’s it.
