Heading to Saalbach in 10 days and been looking at the forecast over the last few weeks for Xmas and New Year. One time it says 33cm then drops to nothing then back to 18cm then nothing.
It's a wast of time praying for this.(note from the editor: thank you for your feedback. Please write to our help desk if you have ongoing concerns about our forecasting.)

Your “next 3 days” and “4 to 6 days” display format is consistently difficult to understand!
Any chance you could simply put the 7 day forecast in point form and in chronological order.

I love Snow-Forecast, but I have to be honest, I do not understand how the new snow alerts work. The little bars don't make much sense to me. The old system was great and super easy to understand.

Hey Guys - The new snow alert format is not very helpful. They don't show the predicted snowfall in cm's or inches just little red bars that I don't understand. Is there way to go back in the settings?
(note from the editor: thank you for your feedback. This is the new format for the alerts. You can use the website / app for detailed forecasts.)

After following your forecast for many years, I see that you usually follow the GFS model, which, like this week, forecast more that 1.5 meter of snow, while the ECMWF model is more correctly say 45-50cm of snow. Then, and it is that way almost every time, the GFS model will go along with the EC model. It's time you go with the EC model instead of the "sensations generating" GFS.
Again, this is not a "One time" observation, is a constat behavior.0note from the editor: thank you for your feedback.)

This season your forecasts for Argentinean resorts were awful you failed everyday..you should check your stadistics.

Thanks for your great service.
Today I clicked on two different maps on SF.
One had sea level pressure the other freezing level.
To me freezing level or snow level seem to be much more relevant.
As a skier/snowboarder I am not concerned about pressure levels, but snow starting at which altitude.
Pressure levels can be found on normal weather sites, but your unique service is where to find snow.(note from the editor: thank you for your feedback.)

Just interested in why the forecast maps now show sea level pressure rather than freezing level.
The freezing level was great and very useful, the air pressure less so.
Is there an option to change this or view differently/
Many thanks(note from the editor: thank you for your feedback.)

Hi - Have been a subscriber for some time, I like the site a great deal and find it very useful. There is one thing that bugs me though. I ski in the French Alps and as most of the weather there comes from the Atlantic it would be useful to me to be able to replace the 'Eurasia' view with an 'Atlantic and Europe' view showing the Eastern seaboard of the US, the Atlantic and the Western half of Europe. Even better would be to pick a level of magnification and then drag and drop the map to get the view you want. Just a suggestion, keep up the great work. Thanks.

on your weather maps in snow-forecast would it be possible to display the 540 line too?

Please can you shed some light on calling pen y fan a ski resort? It's nothing like one! Very odd.
[ed: you make a valid point, Richard. Being based in Wales this was one of our first submissions to the database at SF. The team have visited the hill with snowboards over the years.]

On your page about Nozawa Onsen http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Nozawa-Onsen, you have the nearest train station as Togarinozawaonsen. It's not, it's Iiyama.
Separately (and maybe this isn't fixable...), your forecasts of temperature and relative amounts of snowfall/precipitation are pretty good. But your algorithm consistently underestimates the absolute amount of snowfall in Nozawa Onsen by 20%-50%. This has consistently been the case since I started using your service 3 years ago. Otherwise, very helpful and useful service. Thank you.
Please fix!
Peter

Cypress Mountain has been reporting 0.3-1.1 degrees C on their web page for the past couple days. The forecast on snow-forecast.com has indicated 6-11 degrees over the same time period.
Why isn't the forecast updated when reported temperatures differ by so much? The forecast states min 10, max 11, and was issued today. Meanwhile at the mountain it's about 1 degree C. This has been the case for about 3 days and the discrepancy continues.
I don't expect forecasts to always be right, but I do expect them to be updated so that at least the current conditions are correct.
[note from the editor: thank you for getting in touch; you should enrol as an Eyeball Reporter so your 'live' weather observations can be seen on the relevant web pages: [email protected] with a Twitter ID. Or click the "Is it snowing?" icon. Both methods are provided for the reason of supplying weather conditions at resorts.]

Hi,
We moved from the UK to the US and my iPhone app has stopped working since the IOS 11 release. Does not appear that your app is available in the US Apple App store. Is there a reason why we can't get it here?
We have been a long time supporter and love your temperature snow forecasts as they are in amazing detail.
Regards, Kathy RollResponse from the editor: Hi Kathy, thank you for expressing your support. The updated app will be available very soon.

I have been using the snow-forecast for these couple of years and appreciate very useful and helpful forecast information for my ski planning, however I am afraid something wrong in the calculation for Japanese skiing area for these several weeks.
The forecast and the actual weather is completely different, that I have never experienced in the past forecast on snow-forecast.
Snow season in Japan will end soon, I hope it is fixed by the next season! Thanks.[note from the editor: thank you for expressing your concern regarding our forecasts for areas in Japan. Your comments have been noted.}

Hi there,
I am quite happy with your forecasts even though sometimes they do overestimate precipitation as written below for Zermatt e.g. by another user. But regarding the different weather models and the tricky situation at the alpine main ridge (like Zermatt, Saas Fee) in southernly winds, I understand it's almost impossible to find the perfect solution. One more thing: Stuhleck (Austria) has its lowest point at 782 m and not at 1469 m as is said here (see http://www.seilbahntechnik.net/de/lifts/place/spital_am_semmering/index.htm).
Keep on rockin', best regards from Vienna - Stefan[note from the editor: thank you for sending us your feedback; heights for Stuhleck have now been updated.]

I live at Mt Baldy, BC and have used your site for snow for years and spread your "gospel" for years! You have always been the most accurate snow site for Mt Baldy B.C. until this December? What has happened? You have been waaaay off since late December!! Please get it back!

Once again, we are here with family, and the snow is awesome There is now a larger tube park (fun for all) and a carpet ride for the bunny hill; no holding on just walk on. The snow is awesome. Even off the yellow chair you could find knee deep powder. A great family mountain with something for everyone. Staff are great. Little change but anticipating big things soon.

Hi!
I just wanted to say briefly that the weather model you are using continuously (and heavily!) overestimates the expected snowfall for Zermatt in the Alps! Sometimes grotesque.
Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with your service!
Best regards,
Benjamin[note from the editor: thank you for sending us your feedback. We shall do our best to investigate the discrepancy.]

Thank you for a very useful site that I've been using a lot the past three years.
I would like to report what must be a false snow depth indication for Swizerland, Veysonnaz. It says 140cm (top). Yesterday I went all over the area (over to Verbier and back) and wonder where they found 140cm snow depth. It was more like 40cm with lots of rocks "everywhere".
Should be verified :-)
Thanks![note from the editor: thank you for sending us your feedback regarding a snow depth report at Veysonnaz. We are currently trying to improve this service; open to users of the site. However, the following page reports 140cm at the top of part of the area. http://www.veysonnaz.com/fr/ski/installation-ski-televeysonnaz_0-333]

I would like to report a 'bug' regarding the positioning of 'Balea Lake' on the map. I believe this is the cause for wrong forecasts for this resort.
The correct coordinates: 45.602153, 24.614610[note from the editor: thank you for sending us these coordinates. A month of membership has been added to your account.]

Have been very disappointed with your forecasting. 9 day forecasts are always wildly optimistic and invariably wrong. Given that these are what I am paying for you guys really need to tighten up your modelling.
I will not be renewing, and will not be recommending your site.[note from the editor: it is always disappointing to hear about users having a poor experience. We aim to provide the best forecasting service possible and always take note of feedback. ]

Hello guys
I would like to thank you for the site, is my go to 1st source of info and estimation for my snowboard-trips :)
In the past 2 years I have started to use it also as a go to source for my local forecast. I can zoom on Romania and I know where Bucharest is and i can make a very good impression for precipitations, temperature, wind, clouds. It's graphical, with a 6 hour interval and at least for short term works great.
What I think you can improve is:
- design
- accessibility (the app is not that great, it needs to be fast and better designed)
Of course the forecast is more important than the design as what people look is reliability but I guess a nicely designed site/app will make me forgot the other variants (accuweather, weather underground, weather.com, etc)
Keep it up![from a member of the team: thank you for your feedback, we have taken note of your suggestions.]

Way to rip off an established website's name and purpose.
Too bad your site sucks and snowforecast.com has always been the best.
.

[from site co-founder: Dear Bryson, thanks for your comment, but we are not a rip-off site. Snow-Forecast.com first appeared on the internet in 1999, and prior to that evolved from an academic IP address at Cardiff University.
