About PowderPeek

PowderPeek is an independent project created by Michael Boyle to make ski-area snowfall, seven-day forecasts and camera sources easier to compare. It began with Colorado and now includes the North American ski-area directory.

Visitors can read forecasts, save mountains in their browser and share resort pages without creating an account or paying a subscription. PowderPeek is not a resort, a government weather agency, or an official source for mountain operations.

What we add

We organize forecasts and reports around individual mountains, distinguish reported snow from predictions, identify source times, and show known limitations such as a model choosing a nearby town. Our guides explain how to interpret those differences. We do not claim to have measured snow ourselves.

Editorial standards

Numeric amounts must come from identifiable data fields or explicitly labeled resort reports. Missing measurements remain unavailable. Old and undated reports are labeled. Forecast source attribution stays visible, including when sources disagree. Automated collection and software-assisted publishing do not remove the need to check a source or investigate errors.

Guide content explains the product’s methods and practical use. We do not publish invented resort visits, personal testing claims, ratings, testimonials or guarantees of snow. Important source and coverage limitations are documented on Data & sources and Coverage.

Corrections

Use Contact to report a wrong resort location, source link, camera or snowfall value. Include the mountain name and original source where possible. Corrections are reviewed against available evidence; a report of a discrepancy is not itself proof of which value is right.

Advertising independence

Advertising supports the site. Paid placements are labeled Advertisement and do not determine resort ordering, forecast values, source choices or guide conclusions. Nearby resorts are ranked by distance; directory lists are organized by location. See Advertising for the current setup.
