What you can ask

Any AI assistant. Any snow question. Verified source.

The Snowdata MCP gives Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor and any MCP-aware agent direct access to the data the world's resorts have just submitted.

“Where's the best powder this weekend within four hours of Denver?”

“Compare snowfall at Niseko versus Verbier this season.”

“Is Mt Hutt open today? What's the base depth?”

“Plan a five-day ski trip to Argentina in late August — open resorts only.”

“Show me resorts in Colorado with more than 30cm of new snow in the last 48 hours.”
