Sources & method

Local reports describe observed conditions. The weather forecast is shown separately; it does not establish piste quality or snow cover.

The illustration connects the three views. It is a schematic, not a route map or a picture of current snow cover.

The 1200, 1900, 2400 m values are elevation-adjusted model forecasts at one representative point, not observations or separate weather stations.

Schematic elevation profile

How we calculate this

Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

How this comparison works+

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.

This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Is this the whole ski area?

No. Serre Chevalier includes several resorts; its figures are not a local inventory.[1]

Are connections open?

Check the official lift and piste report before setting out. A map does not confirm opening.[4]

Are the elevation forecasts observations?

No. They are model values adjusted to three elevations at one representative point.[2]
