How it works
A powder trip is a chain. We own every link.
The snow total is one number near the start. Everything that decides whether the day is worth it comes after, and that is what we handle.
01
A storm shows up
We watch every mountain we cover and surface the storms actually worth your attention, scored by rate, not just total.

Decide if it is worth flying
The raw NWS number sits next to live flight prices from your home airport, so the go or no-go call takes a minute, not an evening.

Time the drive
Canyon roads close on storm mornings. We model when, and tell you the hour to leave so you are past the gate before the chain law hits.

Lift timing
Last tram, not first.
Rock Springs top to bottom is 10+ minutes of continuous fall line. Locals save it for the last tram of the day, when the light goes flat and the crowd goes home.
Where to meet
Sublette is the base camp.
Sublette Chair is your fast access to Ganjala Peak and the responsive terrain off the ridge. It is where the locals regroup between laps.
Season read
December is a rain-line game.
Up high skis great after an atmospheric river. The low runs go thin and wet in a warm spell, so you ski the top and skip the bottom until it firms.

That is about $1.37 a day in season. One busted trip costs more.
Straight answers.
How accurate is the forecast?
We show you the raw NWS number, nothing dressed up. We put real work into checking whether we could correct it per mountain against six winters of ground truth, and the honest answer is that nobody can do it reliably, so we do not pretend to. What we add is everything around the number: the drive, the road timing, what is open, and how locals ski it.
Should I just use OpenSnow?
If all you want is a snow total, use it. It is good and it costs about a tenth of what we do. StormDrop is for the flight-and-drive decision: is this storm worth the trip, when do I leave, and how do I ski the mountain once I land.
What do I actually get for $500?
The whole trip, planned. Flight prices from your airport next to the storm, canyon closure timing so you leave at the right hour, verified rosters and wind-hold risk so you know what is open, and local knowledge for 27 mountains so you ski it like you live there.
Which resorts do you cover?
76 across the US and Canada. Verified lift and terrain rosters for all of them. Deep local knowledge for 27 so far, growing as the corpus does.
Is the trial really free?
Yes. 7 days, no card to start. If it is not worth it, you never enter a payment method.
