See the snow on the mountain
The next three days on the real terrain around Wasatch Peaks Ranch. Colours show the forecast new snow at each height and the white line is the snow level. Press Play to run the three days, drag to turn the mountain, or point at a slope to read it.
The colours come from the base, middle and summit forecasts above and change with height only; wind and the way a slope faces are not part of it. Heights are stretched 1.5 times so the slopes read clearly. This is a forecast, not a measurement.

Snow by model, next 3 days
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 Tue 3 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.

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.
