SNOTEL ground truth
NWS Forecast Accuracy
Accuracy grade pending, and it stays that way on purpose. We show the raw NWS forecast for Mt. Bachelor 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.

Local Knowledge
TGR Community IntelStorm Day Strategy
Arrive early during heavy snow events. Backside lifts (Outback Super Express, Northwest Express) remain operational during high-wind periods when East-side lifts experience holds. Expect wind holds on East side; prioritize backside terrain. Visibility challenging at lift tops; reward comes after pushing through blowing snow in upper elevations.
