Description
PowderRun scores every ski run 0–100 using live weather data so you always know where the best snow is.
Scores update every 30 minutes based on fresh snowfall, temperature, wind, sun exposure, freeze level, and ice risk. Open the app, pick your resort, and instantly see which runs are firing.
HOW IT WORKS
Each run gets a powder score from 0 to 100. The score combines real-time weather — snowfall in the last 24 hours, current temperature, wind speed and direction, solar radiation on the slope, and freeze level — with the run's aspect, elevation, and terrain features. North-facing sheltered runs score higher on sunny days. Windward slopes get penalised in a gale. It all happens automatically.
