    Best snowfall forecast app?

    I have the ski report app that everyone seems to have, and it's good for telling you where it -has- snowed, but is there an app that will tell you where it -will- snow and give you a notification/alert on your phone ahead of time?

    Example: I select five ski hills that are within driving distance, and the app tells me whenever any of these hills is expecting a snowfall of 20cm or more in the next 24-48 hours?

    NOAA always seems to have the most accurate forecasts. I have the NOAA ski area forecasts bookmarked and check them regularly during ski season. Poor man's app.

    Powderchasers has an email alert setup but not an app.

    Opensnow.com may have an app. Best snow forecast site I know.

    Open Snow does have an app, and it can set alerts for basically whatever you want. You might have to pay to get the functionality to get forecast alerts, not sure (I do pay, and have that function, but I don't remember if that's part of the pay feature set).

    They use NOAA forecasts for areas that they don't have an in-house forecaster for. I don't know what their coverage is like for Canada, eh, or what forecasts they would use since NOAA obviously doesn't forecast there.
