How to read this: A storm signal needs at least 1.5 inches of modeled snow in a 24-hour window. A potential ski window is stricter: the model also needs at least 2 inches of depth, subfreezing temperature and very low rain. The window closes when sustained warmth or meaningful rain appears. Current official grooming/open status remains a separate source and must be verified before travel.
