About the data
The selected slope heights are 1,550 m, 1,954 m and 2,326 m. All three heights share a 6.5 km weather-model cell. Precipitation and gust figures are shared.
These are historical estimates, not a trip forecast. A rain or snow day has at least 1 mm of precipitation. Temperatures are adjusted for slope height; precipitation and 10 m gusts are not. Each data cell is about 6.5 km wide, so conditions on an individual piste can differ.
