NWS Forecast Accuracy

Pending

Accuracy grade pending, and it stays that way on purpose. We show the raw NWS forecast for Brighton and do not grade or correct it. Six winters of NWS-against-SNOTEL checking found forecast accuracy here turns on an unresolved snow-measurement question (settled snow depth vs. fresh snowfall), not a fixed per-mountain bias anyone can honestly correct. So we show the number NWS publishes and tell you that is what it is.

Storm Day Strategy

Expect multiple avalanches with new snow; avoid Milly Bowl if gates open questionably; check UAC reports carefully as updates may lag; post-storm Saturday traffic is extreme - consider arriving very early or delaying to Sunday; LCC typically opens quicker after control work but with significant crowds
