You know LCC closes. You just never know when.
Powder or tracked-out chop often comes down to the LCC gate. StormDrop tracks the closure risk so you know whether to set the alarm or sleep in.
25-26 Season Report
Here's how your mountains really performed.
Utah Wasatch — 244 storms tracked, 417" average season total.
Your Specific Problem
LCC avalanche control closures. The typical control window is early morning, so you either clear the canyon before it or wait out the mid-morning reopen. We flag the closure risk so you are not sitting in your car watching the gate.
This isn't a generic weather problem. It's the exact failure mode every salt lake city skiers deals with. StormDrop is built to solve it.
What you missed
While your home mountain underdelivered, other regions were firing.
StormDrop would have flagged these windows with flight and hotel links pre-filled.
Next season, StormDrop alerts you when one of these regions is about to fire — with available flights from SLC already loaded.
How it works
One app. The complete powder day answer.
Raw NWS, No Spin
The real number, plus the plan.
We show the raw NWS snowfall, the storm level (Level 2 to 4), rain risk, and powder density. No corrected number we cannot stand behind. Then we plan the trip around it.

“NWS had 25-41″ for Vail from Sat night through Mon, which was a pipe dream. I think 12-24″ during the same period is more reasonable.”
