Powder alerts
Every resort we cover, scanned for a significant snowfall event in the next seven days. Ranked by how much is coming and — the part that actually matters — whether there is still time to do something about it.

How an alert is decided
We take the heaviest rolling three-day window in the forecast rather than the weekly total. Sixty centimetres spread over a week is a good week; sixty centimetres on Thursday is a reason to move a flight. Only the second is an alert.
Twenty centimetres over three days is a watch, thirty-five an alert, sixty a major. Events landing two or more days out rank above bigger ones landing tomorrow, because tomorrow's is already unbookable for most people.
These are weather models, not resort snow reports — honest, but not measurements. How we rank.
