    Weather Forecast Websites for ski resorts

    What is the best/most accurate Ski Resort Forecast website (for the northwest US and BC)?

    I have been using snow-forecast.com, NWS NOAA, and NWAC. snow-forecast seems to be fairly accurate for Baker but really only reliable for a 3 day forecast.

    Is it worth paying for the membership to snow-forecast?

    a combination of all the info and somewhere in the middle. I find SF to be slanted toward the resorts. No forecast is good past 3 days in all honesty. I would not pay a membership. The fireweather site is pretty good here in CO.

    the snow-forecast site has been pretty accurate for hood this year, i guess its not too hard though to forecast no snow, but its better than noaa saying that there will be 40 inches and then getting nothing, im pretty impressed with the snow forecast accuracy throughout the season. The early season dumps and the more current 3-7 inch forecasts have all been right on. and as mentioned noone can call much more than 3 days in advance

    Tuesday is my day off, hopefully the weather lines up tomorrow. I was planning on heading up tomorrow morning to the baker area to find some turns. Either Coleman Glacier, artisan point, or cruise up the road behind the DOT station. Mostly just going to poke around and look for snow!

    Nwac is by far the best, although probobally the most complicated to read through. The noaa forecasts you are reffering too are most likely the computer generated point forecasts, which can leave a lot to be desired.

    In drove this drunken madman and stopped on a dime! Unfortunately the dime was in Mr. Rococo's pocket!

    NOAA usually over predicts by like 30-50% in my opinion
