Opening-day alerts
A notification on this device on opening day, early in the morning, with a link to the resort’s own report. Pick your resorts:
For Mt. Rose, Sugar Bowl and Diamond Peak it comes the morning their lift page first shows a lift running; for the others, the morning of the opening day they announced, whether or not it holds. It is a heads-up, not the resort’s report: check the resort’s own site for hours and terrain before you go. One alert per resort; no account, no email, and you can turn them off here any time (what we keep).
Mt. Rose’s own snow report
Mt. Rose’s own report (skirose.com, last posted Oct 13, 8:12 AM PDT; read ) is not today’s: no lift is open or scheduled on it, so its depth figures are not repeated here. Before opening day and after closing, a resort’s page keeps the last season’s numbers. The gauge above is today’s.
We read Mt. Rose’s report page on skirose.com once an hour. Its figures appear here only while its season is running, which means a lift open, scheduled or on hold on a read in the last day and a half, and only when the report was posted within the last 30 hours. A resort’s base depth is the packed, groomed snow on its runs, often measured at mid-mountain, so it is rarely the same number as the gauge.

Where the snow is measured
The gauge is SNOTEL station Mt Rose Ski Area (652:NV:SNTL), run by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. It stands 1 mile south-west of Mt. Rose at 8,810 ft and reports every hour: snow depth from a sonic sensor over the ground, the water held in the snow from a pressure pillow, and the air temperature.
“New snow” here is how much deeper the snow is than 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days earlier. Fresh snow settles as it lands and melts on warm afternoons, so a rise is the least that fell, and a fall can mean melt rather than wind. When a storm comes and goes inside the week, the deepest reading of the week is shown with its time. A reading older than six hours is not shown as current: the page says when the gauge last reported instead.
