NOAA. I pay $20 a year for it but the app is pretty dope if you are into checking weather patterns and whatnot. If not just go to noaa.gov and look up your areas.
Open Snow is the best one I've found. It lets you customize forecasts and reports for any number of ski areas, and seems to have pretty much every area in the world.
I don't necessarily use apps that forecast for resorts. I use NWS and the NERFC snow pages to get some info and then reference it with the TK forecast. I also use the nearest town forecast from accuweather or weather underground to get an idea for lower elevation totals and then compare that to the resort forecast. From all of that I usually am able to make a pretty good call. I will say that NWS is definitely the most accurate.
Yea I mostly use OpenSnow but also just check the resorts website. They report all the condition details and they might boost them a little bit gives a pretty good idea for what it's like.
And for backcountry I would reccomend checking cams if possible. Popular spots like Loveland and berthoud pass have online cams you can check to see live conditions
Either just show up or if I'm really looking see what the mtn says. Idk. I just kinda wing it. I use on the snow for historical snowfall nerding though.
