What Snow Days does
Snow surface, hour by hour
Powder, packed, slush, crust, ice — not a generic snowflake icon. Snow Days models what the snow under your skis will actually be like, for every hour of the day.
Built for resorts, not postcodes
Forecasts are sampled at base and summit elevation for each ski area, so the reading reflects the mountain you are riding rather than the town at the bottom of it.
Plan the trip, not just the morning
Ten-day snowfall totals, temperature, wind and visibility, so you can pick the day worth taking off work before anyone else does.
Season dates, lift hours, parking
When a resort opens and closes, when the lifts spin, what parking costs and whether you need to reserve it — kept current for every location.
Frequently asked
- What is Snow Days?
- Snow Days is a ski and snowboard forecast app for iPhone and Android. It gives hour-by-hour snow-surface conditions — powder, packed, slush, crust, ice — for 994 ski resorts across 36 countries, alongside snowfall, temperature, wind, season dates and lift hours.
- Is Snow Days free?
- Yes — browsing every resort and checking today's conditions is free, on the web and in the app. The full ten-day hourly forecast is a paid subscription.
- How is Snow Days different from a weather app?
- A weather app tells you whether snow will fall. Snow Days tells you what the snow will be like to ride: it tracks fresh snowfall, how the existing base has thawed and refrozen, and the effective surface temperature, then names the surface you will find.
- Which ski resorts does Snow Days cover?
- 994 resorts in 36 countries — the Alps, Japan, the US Rockies, the Pyrenees, Scandinavia, the Andes, Australia and New Zealand, and more. Every resort has its own page with season dates, elevation and parking.
- Is Snow Days on Android?
- Yes. Snow Days is available on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, and every resort forecast is also readable on this site without installing anything.
- Does Snow Days work outside the United States?
- Yes — most of the catalog is outside the US. Snow Days covers 36 countries, including the full Alpine arc, Japan, Canada, and the southern-hemisphere season in the Andes, Australia and New Zealand.
