Before you book
This bet missed 5 of the last 10.
3 of the last 10 came in under 8″ — a bust, under a third of the bet.
Odds count natural snowfall only. At snowmaking-dependent resorts, early-season cover can be fine in a low-natural-snow year.
The season, window by window
The bet: 12″ of new snow per week, scaled to each window. Counted from real seasons — how our odds work.

The middle season — median new snow per window, counted from the last 20 winters. A picture of timing, not a forecast. Snow is streaky; hover any window for the usual range.

Field notes
The Adirondacks' quiet big mountain — sprawling, tree-rich, and state-run like Whiteface but without the Olympic traffic. The Rumor and Lies steeps and the Burnt Ridge glades are quality terrain nobody talks about.
North Creek is sleepy; this skis best as a day trip or overnight on Albany-side logistics. Rarely crowded — a complementary stop on an Adirondack swing rather than a destination.

These are historical odds from the last 20 winters — not a forecast. Inside 16 days of a trip, a forecast is the better instrument; beyond that, counting real seasons is the honest play. Every number on this page is quoted under methodology v1.2.0, the same math we grade ourselves against in public.
