Data service providing forecasts from NOAA, ECMWF, ECCC, DWD, the Met Office, Météo-France and JMA. Available models, variables and grids depend on the location and product.
XIONIA collects data directly from the model providers. Forecasts and maps are served after the source cycle has been published and collected. The selected product shows its model, resolution, available variables and run.
Each available family contributes once per variable. Direct forecasts select the freshest available GFS grid and use equal family weights as the baseline. Local weights apply only where enabled after validation. The comparison shows actual percentages and model cycles.
Additional model forecasts are also shown for comparison and backtesting. Their presence does not automatically add weight to the combined forecast; check the displayed weights.
A dash means unavailable data. Wind and gust may use different models. AIGFS temperature is excluded when it cannot be compared on the same elevation basis. Six-hour precipitation is water equivalent, not snow depth.
A “Today” label with hours in parentheses covers only the stated time window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Days 8–14 are a less certain outlook. Agreement between models is not a probability from a true ensemble.
Ensemble systems provide multiple forecast scenarios; the available systems appear in the chart selector and image catalogue. AIGFS is the single forecast; AIGEFS is the separate ensemble. Available variables and forecast horizons differ by system.

— = not yet verified. ≈ = approximate, as stated by the source. A + preserves the operator’s “over” figure. The same network can appear for several destinations; rows must not be added together. Totals including ski routes are labelled.
When choosing a ski destination, compare the area you will actually use. Local kilometres describe a particular ski area, linked kilometres cover the wider network, and a regional ski pass covers separate areas under a shared ticket.
Verified examples in this table include: Serre Chevalier (250 km), Les 2 Alpes (220 km), Les Arcs (200 km), Val Thorens–Orelle (150 km).
Verified examples in this table include: Les 3 Vallées (600 km), Paradiski (425 km), Les Sybelles (310 km), Tignes–Val d’Isère (300 km).
Connections may include cable cars without a continuous ski descent. Their operation depends on weather, opening hours and ticket coverage.
Verified examples in this table include: Portes du Soleil (600 km), Grand Massif (265 km), La Norma – Valfréjus (135 km).
These regional totals are not presented as one connected ski area. Allow separately for travel between resorts.
A verified piste length (km) is available for 56 of 72 destinations in this table. Missing values are not filled with estimates. Sources and measurement differences are explained on resort pages.
Choose your base using access to the pistes and the forecast at the relevant altitude. A nearby village or mountain pass on the map does not imply a piste link or a road open in winter.
