Version 5.6.126 March 2024Thanks for using OpenSnow! This update includes:
Snow Ratio Forecast
When we talk about snow quality, such as “light and fluffy” or “heavy and wet”, we are talking about the snow-to-liquid ratio. The higher the snow-to-liquid ratio, the lighter the snow quality, and vice-versa. 10:1 will be fun but feel a little heavy, 15:1 will offer some faceshots and feel pretty light, while a ratio of 20:1 will be incredibly light, almost like skiing through nothing but air. Find the “Snow Ratio” forecast under the “Snow Summary” tab on any location screen by going into the 5-day hourly or 10-day forecast sections.
Feels Like Temperature
We’ve added the “Feels Like” temperature to the current conditions, 5-day hourly, and 10-day forecast sections under every location screen. This new variable takes into account the wind chill and heat index to provide you with a better representation of the temperature when planning your next adventure.
New “Sort By” Filter
We’ve added a new “Sort By” filter to the Favorites and Powder Finder screens so that you can more easily filter your favorite locations, top forecasts, deepest reports, and season snowfall. Go to the Favorites screen, tap the “Locations” tab, and tap the new filter button to the left of the “Weather” chip. You can then tap any chip and sort the locations by new snow over the last 24 hours, new snow over the next 5 days, % area open, and much more.

Hourly Snowfall From Nearby Weather Stations
Live Snow is our name for the latest hour-by-hour snowfall data that we pull from thousands of weather stations across the United States and Canada. You can use this feature to see how much snow has fallen in near real-time rather than waiting for an “official” measurement from a resort or another data service which often only reports once per day. Go to any location screen, tap the “Snow Report” tab, view data from the closest weather station, or tap the “Weather Stations” tab to view all nearby data.
