Each thin line is one run of a weather model; the bold line is the middle of all of them. When the lines fan out, the models disagree and the forecast is less certain. Pick a model to see it on its own.

Totals count from Thu 9 PM, where the chart begins, so every model's total counts the same hours. The consensus lines pool every model with equal weight per model, so a 50-member ensemble does not outvote a 4-run set. The mode is the value the pooled lines cluster around most tightly; when it sits away from the median, the models have split into camps and the mode marks the bigger one. A dash in the readouts means that model does not cover the hour under the cursor.

How this forecast is made
Kimberley Alpine Resort runs from about 1,230 m at the base to 1,980 m at the summit. Rain at the base can be snow up top, so the forecast is made for a height: the middle of the mountain, about 1,605 m. Each number is the middle value of 9 weather models after adjusting them for that height. It is a forecast, not a measurement, and it changes as new model runs arrive.
Kimberley Alpine Resort snow forecast questions

How often is the Kimberley Alpine Resort snow forecast updated?
Four times a day, as new runs of 9 weather models arrive. This forecast was updated Thu, Oct 8, 5:15 PM MDT.
Why does a mountain snow forecast depend on height?
Air cools as it rises, so the same storm can bring rain at the base and deep snow at the summit, and mountains squeeze more precipitation out of the air higher up. Weather models see the mountain as a smoothed-out slope, so each model's snow is adjusted to the height being forecast, using adjustments checked against last winter's mountain snow measurements.
