What is the luck factor?
A score comparing how good skiing is likely to be this week at Sälen versus what Sälen normally delivers in late April, based on the last 5 years of weather data.
Where does the data come from?
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.
