    The radar widget is working great for me but I can't get the satellite one to work.

    It would be interesting to see if they could compile the data similar to the average and forecast snowpack depth maps available here for the alps

    what exactly isn't working for you? radar and satellite should be the same widget only with a different data source selected from the back. let me know what you see (or don't see) and i can fix it.

    which version are you using? (says on the back of the widget)

    not sure if I am allowed to plug my own site - but I run a website where I give almost daily updates on the snow and weather conditions for Whistler Blackcomb.
    It can be found at http://whistlerblackcombsnowreport.com/
