Where does this data come from?
Recent totals at Big Sky use Open-Meteo (modeled). When SNOTEL or ACIS stations are linked, observed snow drives the 24-hour and weekly columns; otherwise Open-Meteo modeled snowfall fills gaps and is labeled as modeled in the source tag. Season-to-date and percent-of-normal compare against long-term climate normals (typically 1991–2020) aggregated for the Northern Rockies region. Always cross-check travel conditions with NWS before driving mountain passes.
