Forecast sources and model coverage

Forecast source

The choice applies to widgets, maps and forecasts. Actual station readings stay unchanged. Automatic tries Open-Meteo first, then available direct sources if a supported request fails.

Open-Meteo

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.

Direct model sources

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.

How models combine

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.

Coverage and missing values

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.

Time window

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 forecasts

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.

Ski areas in Greece: choosing a destination

Explore ski areas from the Pindus and the mountains of Macedonia to Central Greece and the Peloponnese. Compare the location of each centre, the journey from your accommodation and the forecast at mountain elevation.

How this directory counts ski areas

The directory has 22 distinct Greek ski-area entries. Karakoli, Politsies and Anilio have separate pages, as do Gerontovrachos and the main Parnassos centre. This is a location directory, not a list of 22 currently open resorts. Vrysopoules has restricted access; some smaller facilities require specific confirmation of operation.

Weather, snow and opening

Use the hourly wind, temperature and precipitation forecast to plan your visit. Check the operator’s report for open pistes, lifts, road access and measured snow conditions. A forecast of fresh snow does not confirm suitable piste coverage.

Comparing pistes and connections · Greece

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.

Local area

Verified examples in this table include: Kalavryta (25 km), Vasilitsa (20 km), Falakro (17+ km), Seli (17 km).

A verified piste length (km) is available for 8 of 22 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.
