Open-Meteo, a free open weather API that blends multiple national weather services plus an archive going back decades. The same data powers many outdoor apps.

It means the weather data suggests good conditions. Local factors like lift closures, off-piste avalanche risk and grooming still matter. Check resort webcams and the local piste report before committing.

Open-Meteo may not have coverage for every metric at every location. Snow depth in particular is spotty outside major resorts. Everything else should populate within the first few daily snapshots.
