Before you book
This bet missed 3 of the last 10.
1 of the last 10 came in under 10″ — 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.

Field notes
Southern Vermont's groomed corporate cruiser — a birthplace of competitive snowboarding from Burton's early days, consistent fall lines, and heavy snowmaking. Pleasant, predictable, crowded.
Ikon. New York weekend crowds define it — the four-hour-metro effect. Midweek it's genuinely pleasant, and the Burton history gives it snowboard-culture weight beyond its terrain.

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.
