A score comparing how good piste is likely to be this week at Mt Hutt with the version-matched historical observations available for late July.
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.
Ski of the day: All-mountain with some width. Plenty of snow to play with on and off the groomers. Nothing too specialised needed.

Canterbury's premier ski field above the farming town of Methven, with reliably good conditions and a locals-only feel. Seasonal work in the wider Canterbury region combines ski field roles with the area's agricultural industry.
The air here is 81% cleaner than the average comparison city right now.
Significantly cleaner air than a typical city. Ideal for outdoor exercise with minimal respiratory strain.
Not a pollutant. Ozone is naturally higher at altitude and near the coast, and lower in cities where traffic exhaust breaks it down. High readings here typically indicate clean air. Can cause short-term airway irritation during intense exercise but is not linked to the long-term health risks of particulate pollution.
Additive health score: each pollutant contributes points relative to its WHO 2021 guideline and long-term health impact (PM2.5 9, NOโ 5, Oโ 3, PM10 2, SOโ 1 at WHO limits). Data via Open-Meteo. City markers show live readings. Red line marks the WHO guideline. Updated 10:36

Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
The timing score combines two signals: historical conditions quality (how good the skiing or surfing typically is in a given week, based on 5 years of weather data) and crowd pressure (how many of this destination's feeder markets have school holidays that week).
Crowd pressure is weighted by each feeder country's share of visitors. If 40% of a resort's visitors come from France and France is on holiday, that contributes 0.40 to the crowd pressure score. Crowds can reduce the timing score by up to 35%, ensuring conditions still matter most.
Scores: 5 = great conditions with low crowds (the sweet spot). 4 = great conditions with moderate crowds, or good conditions with low crowds. 3 = average. 2 = below average conditions or very crowded. 1 = poor conditions or peak holiday chaos.
Based on historical weekly averages
Conditions at Mt Hutt tend to be best between 08:00 to 11:00 in July.
