Once a mountain opens, Snowcall gives it one word every morning, so you know what kind of day it is before you drive up. The one to watch for is Bluebird: fresh snow and a clear sky.
Every mountain is measured the same way, from federal snow stations and the National Weather Service, not resort snow reports.
Until opening day, the weeks above come from twenty winters of those same stations.
