Powder Scope ranks ski resorts by how much of the coming week's snow will actually be good to ski — and tells you whether it'll fall as powder or rain where you ride. It's free right now, and the accounts created during this stretch are the ones we'll look after when it isn't.
What a free account gets you today
- The full 16-day outlook on every resort — see storms coming a week before the 7-day view you get without an account shows them.
- Favourites — save your favourite mountains and customise your default view.
- No card, no trial clock, nothing to cancel.
What's coming
- Full Japan coverage for the 2026/27 season — every major ski area, not just the famous ones.
- Higher-resolution forecasts for Europe, the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia on the local models those regions have, instead of the 9–13 km global models.
- Powder alerts — a heads-up when your favourite has a big pow week in the forecast.
The founding promise
At some point the extended outlook and the features above will become a paid subscription — the weather data isn't free at scale. When that happens, every account created before the switch is offered a founding rate, lower than the public price and kept for as long as the subscription stays active. Nothing is charged automatically, so there's no risk — you'll get an email with the offer and can take it or leave it.
