About West-Virginia ski conditions
Where do the West-Virginia ski conditions come from?
Fresh-snow totals are aggregated from resort-side reporting, NOAA's NOHRSC snow analysis grid, and nearby SNOTEL stations. Snowpack and SWE typically come from the closest SNOTEL station to each resort.
What's a meteogram?
A compact 15-day weather chart showing temperature, precipitation, wind, and weather-symbol forecast in one view. It's the same data professional forecasters use, rendered for quick at-a-glance trip planning.
What about backcountry conditions in West-Virginia?
Always consult your regional avalanche center — resort conditions don't translate to backcountry safety. The U.S. avalanche center directory is at avalanche.org.
