It’s the best weather app for accuracy, especially if you’re a skier or interested in snow! ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2026-09-05, version 8.0.0* OpenSnow offers the best, most comprehensive, advanced, and user friendly weather products out there. As a professional ski guide I depend on accurate forecasts to stay safe and point me towards the best snow. I’ve been impressed with OpenSnow’s accuracy and innovation over the past several years I’ve been a regular user. Well worth the cost! ### 5/5 — This is the app to trust! *2026-09-03, version 8.0.0* I use this app when I’m planning my own outings, as well as planning for my ski clients. Definitely the best app out there! ### 5/5 — The absolute BEST source. *2026-09-03, version 8.0.0* I am a Ski Pro in Aspen and check the app multiple times a day to give my clients the best possible info for localized mtn forecasts. I show my clients the app so they can download it for themselves and check weather for their entire stay ! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-09-03, version 8.0.0* Best ski weather App. Interface , displays & accuracy are spot on!! Thx Open Snow! ### 5/5 — Weather’s Cool Cousin *2026-09-02, version 8.0.0* OpenSnow is the first app I check no matter the time of year or activity. The favorite list is a key player in the summers, showing me where the sun is shining the best. For the winter, the areas I track the fx seems to hold very accurate. With the addition of being easily able to retrieve weather station data as well, open snow feels like an all in one easy to use tool to tract storms and get an idea of what I want to look for in a snowpack for work and play. ### 1/5 — Never alert *2026-08-30, version 8.0.0* I set up alerts and it just never worked during my free trial. There were definitely Alerts during that time. Probably won't ever use this app again. ### 5/5 — Has no match *2026-08-22, version 7.9.1* Works well for high alpine hiking & chasing powder. There is no match to this app. ### 5/5 — Lots of great layers! *2026-08-12, version 7.9.1* Highly recommended for weather nerds... would like to see realtime AQI from purple air added to the widget and in the favorites list. A wind direction layer from the windy app. would be cool with the little arrows. Would also like to see a high/low pressure layer. Other than that winter can't come soon enough!! Thanks for the great UI. Cheers Bob ### 5/5 — My new favorite weather app *2026-08-03, version 7.9.0* So much better detail and information. I’ll still use the other apps for Lightning strikes but I’m a total convert. Thank you ## Frequently asked questions about OpenSnow ### What does OpenSnow do?
