Steady, light snow at Wolfy from mid-morning on. Maybe 2-2.5" covering car when I departed at 3:30.

I think it's been like this for a while... you get ~4 "views" per week and have to pay for unlimited access. Or is he charging for everything now?
Did Outside buy Opensnow too?
Edit, nevermind.... charging for basically any access. I think he's over-estimating the value he brings (which is basically nothing, if you're willing to read an actual weather forecast).

yeah think I am good on paying for open snow. I like to read forecasts but in the end I already know when and where I am going skiing so no thanks.

So far so good I CB. Fingers crossed. No way I'd spend money for open snow when noaa forecast discussion is better

I'm thinking about starting an I-70 shitshow forecast app. Subscription based.
I'll forecast the incoming shitstorm with various proprietary forecast models I have built for I-70 traffic/weather/shitstorm analysis.
Anyone here interested in this?

I'm guessing the calculus for the decision was rather simple. Given that they currently run on all access members and a shitton of people just read it for free, the tradeoff of giving up a little ad revenue for getting even a modest percentage of the free readers to subscribe is probably a no brainer economically.

Joel is trying to get this crowd to read and or buy his stuff. He is after dumb down lowest common denominator tourist guy. It works, I hear gapers on the lift talk about it all the time. NWS, Seth, and Highpoint Weather are clearly the best in my opinion. The guy at Highpoint is really technical but does a great job. No mention of “thicker” or “fluffy” is a bonus

Highpoint has been new to me this year. Good stuff. Agreed on thick and fluffy. He laments it will be thick and supportive when there's like 20" on the ground. I'll take the base builder, thanks.
5" on the pow cam since close, so over an inch per hour

It also bothers me that all the resorts now refer to OpenSnow as the soothsayer of snow. Makes me suspicious he’s getting quietly paid by them.

Joel owns it. Y'all realize business records can be publicly searched?
Given that there are "Daily Snows" for some individual mountains but not others, I think it's fairly obvious that those mountains are paying him.

I’ve long thought it would be fun to have a weather site that’s as accurate as any other but attributes the accuracy and the weather to rituals and supernatural forces.
Prolly been done.

He steers clear of pagan rituals and the like, but this one is pretty out there: https://futuresnow.co/news-updates.
Next week brings some atmospheric river leftovers, I like it. Let's keep the storm train going!

I basically go to the same ski area, and ski the same runs off the same lift, everyfuckingday anyway so snow forecasts pretty much just motivate me to take more time off work and ski. They don't really determine where I'm going skiing very often.
