I used to ski a lot before I suffered a knee injury in early 2009 while on a trip to Mammoth Mountain. Although my skiing days are now few and far-between, I follow OpenSnow daily (multiple times a day in the Fall/Winter/Spring), particularly because of the unique understanding of the microclimates around the Tahoe Basin, where I live. Bryan Allegretto is an incredible Meteorologist! He may not know the exact number of people who look forward to and (no pressure!) depend on his forecasting prowess, but out of all of the available weather and climate forecasts/predictions for our area, I definitely look forward to and enjoy his amazingly-dynamic posts the most. The detailed descriptions along with pictures and maps that he provides with every post are engaging, knowledgeable, and fun! I know that he spends a lot of time preparing these posts, and they are appreciated and enjoyed beyond belief! Of course there are many other features of the App that are invaluable, and I use them all frequently. Thank you for all of the never-ending determination and hard work to keep OpenSnow as the very best of Weather Apps available to all of us “weather freaks!” Whether we ski, snowboard, or just love and look forward to those days that the sun isn’t “shining bright,” you guys are the best! Thank you!

THE Best Ski/Snowboard Weather App

I have used several winter sports forecasting apps over the years, and OpenSnow is the standout product in this space. Its forecasts are specific to the ski location you’re interested in (both at resorts and backcountry), and you can grab a forecast from any location on the globe. The forecasts are “no overhype/straight meteorological science” which I find differs from other sites which get overexuberant in their snow forecasts. Additionally, there are tons of added features including a wonderful array of maps and predictive models they share. For weather nerds, there are regular posts from their meteorologists that elaborate on weather patterns and weather forecasting. And, the product has evolved to be an all-season weather forecasting tool. I use it year round for my non-snow forecasts as well. They have multiple tiers of offerings, from free to paid to a new “premium” tier, so there’s a level for every user. The product continues to evolve wonderfully, so I’m a happy supporter of this new premium tier. If you’re in the market for a great weather app that is terrific for winter sports forecasting, but also can support your general weather forecasting needs, look no further.

This is truly the best weather app. I live in Steamboat Springs and am outside a lot. I need to know what to expect hour to hour and day to day so I can get on with my activities. This app tells me everything I need to know. I use it as much in the summer months as in winter. Lots of data at your finger tips like when it’s going to rain or snow, cloud cover, lightning, hourly temps, wind speed. Plus you can toggle from winter to summer mode. There are also some helpful overlay maps for smoke, wildfires and snowfall (powder days!). They have news and weekly weather predictions and all sorts of other deep dive weather stuff if you want to geek out. They EXPLAIN the weather. Love that the developers really are passionate about weather accuracy. I also like to keep tabs on other ski areas, towns where my family live and places I’m heading on vacation so I line up my favorites accordingly. It’s astonishing the amount of info in one place. One of my favorite apps. Not one single complaint. Kudos to the Open Snow team!

Inconsistent, not worth price

I’ve used this app religiously the last 4-5 years and this app has managed to go downhill from the start. First and foremost the most consistent and detailed forecaster on this site is Evan Thayer. They frequently have one forecaster for large areas (Bob Ambrose AB/MT) and in turn lose out massively on consistency of forecasts, in addition to quality. Open Snow introduced a semi paywall 2 years ago which has led to its demise. First, they capped the quantity of forecasts you could read at 7 per week. This was announced pre-season and I was disappointed; yet understanding as they had brought on Evan and his forecasts are awesome! Several weeks later (I believe) they were lowering the quantity of forecasts you could read to 5 (which I think was further reduced to just 4) on the basis that their customers were reducing consumption of forecasts to stay under their premium pay wall. Now, I wake up today to find that Open Snow has decided to eliminate access to all forecasts other than a 3 sentence “summary” which they’ve instructed their forecasters to leave void of any useful information. This company has certainly fallen in line with the rest of the snow sports industry to gauge their supporters for as much $$$ as they can. Right on OS!
