How we count: Open-Meteo historical weather (ERA5-based), July 2015 to June 2025, mid-mountain elevation; a fresh-snow day is 1 inch or more of modeled snowfall. Weather models undercount mountain snow, so real snow days are likely more frequent; use this to compare resorts and months. Each resort's page shows its own month-by-month odds.
