The snow gods: How a couple of ski bums built the internet’s best weather app

OpenSnow, an independent app built by two ski enthusiasts, has become the most trusted snow-forecasting tool for skiers and snowboarders by combining government weather data, proprietary AI models, and decades of alpine experience. The app's forecasters have gained micro-celebrity status through their hyper-local "Daily Snow" reports covering mountains worldwide. What started as an email list of 37 subscribers has grown into a half-million-strong community, proving especially vital during unusual winter seasons.
