Hosted by three OpenSnow meteorologists who wake up at ridiculous hours to watch weather models wobble, we break down what’s coming, what fizzled, and which mountains are about to make your season.

Not professional at all. OpenSnow is a serious app for diehard skiers. Why do you think we want to hear this drivel? Where is the weather discussion? The stupid giggles and laughs is a waste of time. By the way, I’ve been a paid subscriber for seven years. This podcast does not help your brand image in any way. Please be professional.
Didn’t think I’d be so entertained listening to people talking about weather.
Loved the new show format kicking off in dec 2023. Previous episodes were too filled with previous 5-day totals going resort by resort, for an audience who is like already well versed in that information.
Loved the idea of making the show itself a conversation about larger weather concepts and events (orographics) etc than about the simple numbers we all see within the open snow app.
I’d love to further see the regional forecasters come in and explain what makes their regions overall—and par... more
Love the podcast! I look forward to it every week. I live in Bend, OR and would love to hear you touch on Mt. Bachelor a little more frequently. The Mt. Hood resorts get a lot of love (for good reason), and even Anthony Lakes and Mt. Ashland, but Bachelor is the best (and biggest) resort in the state. Wink wink Anwyay, keep up the great work and providing the most accurate forecasting anywhere!
