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).
Palisades Tahoe’s own snow report
Palisades Tahoe’s terms of use do not allow its site to be read by a program, so this page does not copy its report. Its base depth, new snow, lifts and trails open, grooming and surface conditions are on palisadestahoe.com, posted by the resort each morning in season. What is here is measured independently, by the federal gauge on or near the mountain.

Where the snow is measured
The gauge is SNOTEL station Palisades Tahoe (784:CA:SNTL), run by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. It stands 1.7 miles west of Palisades Tahoe at 8,010 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.
