Underrated opinion but opensnow exaggerates snow forecasts and creates false hype for a good pow day. So you drive up to meadows for a supposed “pow day” with “10-14 inches,” and then next thing you know you’re drenched in 32 degree weather with freezing rain and the lifts closing early

All you had to do was look at the National Weather Service forecast and you'd know you shouldn't have done that...

Pretty much all weather services base their forecast off data collected by the NWS, making it pointless to spend money on them when you can just look at NWS forecasts for free

To be fair, open snow really depends on the region and forecaster.

The guy who does Utah forecasts is a meteorologist and studies models etc doesn't just read NOAA and post amounts. That being said I don't pay for it, NOAA has accurate enough numbers for me.

UAC as always holds it down with storm discussions and snowpack updates. Trust your snow safety experts.
