About SNOW Daily
Snowfall estimated consistently for every resort, checked where suitable observations are available
SNOW Daily tracks fresh snow and the 7-day forecast for over 1,000 ski resorts worldwide, updated several times a day. Every resort is estimated the same way, and checked where there is a station, so you can compare the Alps with Japan or the Rockies like for like.
We save each morning’s forecast and later check it against official snow stations. The results, good and bad, are on our Forecast Scorecard, so you can judge our record before you plan a trip.
The resort tables are free. The Season Pass adds a day-by-day forecast for every resort, what has changed since yesterday, rankings and other tools to help you choose where and when to ski.

Resort snow tables
European Resorts
How these figures work
Every resort in this region, ranked by snowfall. Click a column heading to re-sort. Figures are estimates in centimetres for two points: the upper slopes (usually a top lift station) and the base (bottom lift or village). Use the Upper / Base switch to swap between them – a mild base may show less snow, or rain, while the upper slopes still get snow. Each day runs from 6 am to 6 am local time. Temperatures are for the same height, not the village.
S = reported by a nearby official snow station (new snow, or an increase in snow depth recorded by a sensor), for comparison (hover for details). Click a resort name for its own page, webcams and piste map. Small grey figures under the 7-day total show the likely range. Daily levels opens the day-by-day forecast, with freezing level, snow line and strongest gust.
* No likely range yet: the area is not yet checked against official snow stations, or its range is still being built.

Forecast Scorecard
How accurate are our forecasts?
This page compares our forecasts with the snow that actually fell, so you can judge how far to trust them. We save each morning’s forecast and never change that saved version. In Europe, Asia and the Southern Hemisphere, part of the first forecast day may already have elapsed when it is saved. It is then checked against a nearby official snow station. You can see how far out we typically are, whether we tend to over- or under-forecast, and how many 10 cm+ days we saw coming.

How to read these tables
Error is how far out we were, in cm, whether too high or too low. Most days are dry, so an average over all days flatters any forecast – even “no snow every day” does well on it. That is why the average error is always shown beside two simple forecasts: “no snow” and the usual snowfall for the time of year. Bias shows whether we tend to forecast too much (+) or too little (–). We show snowy days separately (a snowy day has 5 cm or more) because getting quiet days right says little about big snow days.
A day with 10 cm+ has at least 10 cm of new snow. For the 7-day figures we judge weeks of 20 cm or more instead. Caught means we forecast it and it came; missed means it came without warning; a false alarm means we forecast it and it did not come. Called vs came is how often we called a 10 cm+ day against how often one came: above 1× we call them too often. The skill figure compares our calls with chance: 0 is no better than guessing, 1 is perfect, and the small figures beside it are the range it is likely to lie in. Big-day figures stay provisional until there are 21 snowy days in at least 3 separate spells.
24 hours is the next day’s forecast; 3 and 7 days are the totals for those periods. The “how far ahead” chart shows how accuracy drops further out.
We use official stations run by national weather and avalanche services – never a resort’s own snow report. Scored against the official snow stations we judge comparable to each resort; others are kept as context and left out of the headline figures.
Forecasts are saved each morning, UK time. In Europe, Asia and the Southern Hemisphere part of that day has already passed, which slightly flatters their 24-hour scores. Faulty station readings are left out. Each day runs 6 am to 6 am local time.
Forecast Scorecard
Monthly accuracy reports
Each monthly report records how our forecasts compared with official snow-station readings. Published figures remain fixed; later corrections appear separately.

The rules
Issued forecasts are saved and checked against official snow stations. The Scorecard distinguishes forecasts issued before their snow window from those issued after it began. A day we could not forecast is left out, never counted as zero. Finalisation is scheduled for the 5th of the next month, allowing time for late readings and checks. Later station corrections may change the live comparison alongside a final report; its published figures remain fixed.
For each resort’s own record, see the Forecast Scorecard.

Our record, published
We publish forecast checks wherever suitable observations are available
We save each morning’s forecast and never change that saved version. In Europe, Asia and the Southern Hemisphere, part of the first forecast day may already have elapsed when it is saved. We then check it against official snow station readings where suitable observations are available. The results are free for everyone, good and bad.
In detail
Everything in the pass
Daily levels and resort pages
A 7-day forecast for every resort, for the upper slopes and the base (each day runs 6 am to 6 am local time): snowfall by morning, afternoon and night, freezing level, snow line, strongest gust and wind direction, snow quality and temperatures. Each resort page also shows the biggest day ahead with its three-hour breakdown, snow or rain by height, from the village to the top lift, how the forecast has changed since yesterday and, through the winter, how the same dates went last year. For over 250 resorts, explore the resort on a 3D map, with its lifts and pistes over the terrain.
Powder Day Score and Rankings
A 0–10 score for each skiing day, based on fresh snow (including overnight), snow quality, rain risk, wind and timing. Not a safety or avalanche guide. Rank any region by best fresh snow today, best forecast for the next 7 days, best high-altitude snow, highest lower bound of the estimated snowfall range, snow likely at village level, chance of 10 cm+, the Powder Day Score, staying below freezing, most snow already down, best snow quality, fewest wind holds, least rain, a rising forecast or the biggest single day, one at a time or several together.
My mountains, alerts and briefing
Star the resorts you follow to add them to My mountains, then show them first or on their own in the regional tables; they also come first in the Trip Planner and can personalise your home page. My mountains and your settings follow you to every device where you sign in. Snow alerts tell you by email, on your phone or both when 20 or 30 cm or more is forecast in the next three days at up to 10 of them, with optional alerts for rain at the top of the lifts; phone alerts due overnight wait until 7 am. The snow briefing sends your mountains in one email, every morning or each Thursday with the weekend first. Your pass page lists the devices where you are signed in, and you can sign any of them out.
Offline resort pages
On your phone, save up to 10 resort pages to read with no connection, for example on the lift or in the mountains. Each saved page keeps the forecast, the daily levels and the three-hour breakdown as they were when saved, and can include the 3D map and the resort’s piste map. Each copy is marked with the time it was saved and is deleted 7 days later; update it whenever you have a connection.
How our forecasts did
Where observations are available, resort pages show the forecast record and notable snowfall reviews: what we forecast and what fell. Our estimate against the nearest official snow station, day by day for the last 14 days, on every resort page with a suitable station nearby. On the Forecast Scorecard, each resort’s full record, filtered by area, notable snowfalls or My mountains.
Trip Planner
Shortlist: compare resorts for your dates by transfer time, runs for your group and 20 winters of modelled snowfall history (a weather reanalysis, checked against local stations where available). See the top picks and how last winter went, and put up to three resorts side by side, rain risk included. Go: once your trip is within a week, find the best day to ski at each resort. Save up to nine trips or comparisons, which follow you to every device, and share a shortlist or comparison by link with the people you travel with, even if they have no pass.
In your AI chat assistant
Connect SNOW Daily to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity or any AI chat assistant that supports MCP connectors, and ask where the snow is. Free for everyone: fresh snow, the 7-day forecast, the snowiest resorts in a region, the daily snow briefing and how accurate our forecasts have been. With the pass, sign in once and your assistant also has the day-by-day forecast for every resort and a snow finder for the next 7 days. How to connect

Our data and intellectual property
The figures, data, underlying database, data files and methodology used to produce them are owned by SNOW Daily, together with all related copyright, database rights and other intellectual-property rights. The only material available under an open licence is OpenStreetMap extracts and third-party data credited on the Data sources page, which remains subject to its own licence.
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to view our content on the site and in our emails. You may not copy, download, scrape or extract data in bulk; republish, resell or redistribute it; use it for any commercial purpose or in another product, website, app or service; use it to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark or test AI or machine-learning models, or to create datasets or prompts; attempt to recreate or replicate our methodology; or circumvent access controls.
You may quote a small number of individual figures, for example in an article or social media post, if you quote them accurately, give the date and time, link to the resort page, and do not suggest that we endorse you.
Breach of these terms may result in suspension or cancellation of your pass, and we may take further action to protect our rights. To request permission to use our data, please contact us.
Suspending or ending a pass
We may suspend or cancel a pass if we reasonably believe it has been shared, used to scrape or bulk-extract data, or used in another serious breach of these terms, or if payment cannot be collected. Where we can, we will tell you first, explain why and give you a chance to respond. In urgent cases, such as scraping, fraud or a security risk, we may suspend access straight away.
About the data
Snowfall and forecast figures are estimates from numerical weather models, calibrated against official snow stations as described on Our Snow Model. Figures are calculated automatically, and individual figures are not always reviewed by a person before they are published. Forecasts are uncertain and can change between updates. The figures are not the resort's own measurements, and some of the data we use comes from third parties and may change or stop without notice. SNOW Daily provides general information only. It is not meteorological, safety, travel or other professional advice.
Do not rely on SNOW Daily for safety-critical decisions, including travel, driving, mountain activities, avalanche risk or operational planning. Mountain conditions change quickly: always check the resort's own report, the avalanche bulletin and local advice before you travel or ride. We refresh the site automatically several times a day and provide the site and the pass "as is" and "as available". We take reasonable care to keep it accurate and available, but cannot promise that every figure, feed or feature will be accurate or available at all times.
Avalanche danger levels
Resort pages show the avalanche danger level published by the official warning service for the area (for example SLF in Switzerland, Euregio for Tirol, South Tyrol and Trentino, Météo-France, and the US avalanche centres through avalanche.org), with its source, validity and a link to the full bulletin. We reproduce the level as published and do not assess, change or add to it. It is shown only while the bulletin is in force, but a bulletin can be updated, or can fail to reach us, without our page changing at once. The level applies to open terrain in the region, not to the resort's marked and open pistes, and it is no substitute for reading the full bulletin, for local advice or for your own judgement. Danger levels relate to broad regions and may not reflect conditions on a particular slope or route. Off-piste skiing and touring are at your own risk. Nothing on SNOW Daily is avalanche, safety or mountain-guiding advice.
Snow alerts
Season pass holders can ask for alerts by email, on their phone, or both, when the morning forecast shows a chosen amount of snow, or rain at the top of the lifts, at up to ten resorts. Alerts are a convenience only. They are sent from forecasts that can change. Alerts may be delayed or not delivered, for example if a data feed, our refresh process, the email service or your device’s push notification service fails. Phone alerts that fall between 22:00 and 07:00 on the phone's clock are held until 07:00. Do not rely on an alert, or on the absence of one, to decide whether to travel. Alerts stop when you switch them off or when your pass ends.
Saved pages
Season pass holders can save resort pages on a phone to read without a connection. A saved page is a copy from the time shown at its top, not a current forecast; it is never updated and is deleted 7 days after it was saved. Do not rely on a saved page to decide whether to travel: check the live page or the resort's own report when you have a connection.
AI assistant connector
You may use our figures through the SNOW Daily connector in an AI assistant that supports MCP connectors, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or Perplexity, for your own planning, and quote them with their date, time and a link. The connector is not a route to bulk copying: the limits under "Our data and intellectual property" on copying, scraping, republishing and AI training still apply, and we may limit, change or withdraw the connector at any time. Answers come from the same estimates as the site and carry the same limits described under "About the data". The app's own provider is responsible for how it uses and presents them. Season Pass access through the connector ends when your pass ends.
Changes to the service and these terms
We improve the site and the pass over time and may change, add or remove features. We may update these terms. We will tell pass holders about material changes by email or a notice on the site before they take effect. A change that is materially worse for you applies to your pass from your next renewal, and you can cancel before then. The date of the current version is shown below.
Our liability
Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for the pass in the 12 months before the claim, except for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or anything else the law does not allow us to limit. Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer.
Law and courts
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can deal with any dispute. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts. If you live elsewhere as a consumer, you keep any protections that the law of your country gives you and that cannot be excluded.

Our Snow Model
How our snow model works
The snowfall figures on SNOW Daily are estimates from weather forecasting models, not the resorts’ own measurements. This page explains what they are, how we check them and what they cannot tell you. How accurate they have been is on the Forecast Scorecard.
What the figures are
Each figure is the estimated fresh snow, in cm, on the resort’s upper slopes over the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, with a forecast for today and the next 7 days. Each day runs from 6 am to 6 am local time, the same period as the morning snow report. The Upper / Base switch shows the same figures for the bottom of the lifts or the village. A ! means the figures are from the previous update because new data was not available, and an unusually large figure may be held for checking and shown as a dash. Figures update several times a day.
How they are made
We use open weather forecast data, credited on our Data sources page. Our own method, tested against official snow station readings, turns it into a like-for-like figure for every resort.
How we check them
Issued forecasts are saved and checked against official snow stations. The Scorecard distinguishes forecasts issued before their snow window from those issued after it began. The results, including the snow we missed, are published on the Forecast Scorecard. Where a nearby station has reported, its reading appears beside our figure, marked S; we never change our figure to match it.
Verification references
The Scorecard and monthly reports can use different verification versions. Each monthly report keeps the reference used for its published figures.
Resort snow reports
Resorts’ own snow reports play no part in our figures. Resort reports can use different measuring locations, reporting periods and methods, so their totals do not always provide a like-for-like comparison. Always check the resort’s own report before you travel.
What the figures are not
Our figures are estimates for an area, not a measurement at a particular lift, so differences of a few centimetres are normal, more in heavy snow or strong wind. Use the tables to compare resorts like for like. They are not a safety product: check the resort’s report and the avalanche bulletin before you go.
The forecast record
The Forecast Scorecard shows the period covered and the number of forecasts checked. Earlier results remain available in the monthly accuracy reports.
Something wrong?
Corrections to a resort's location, elevation or links are welcome: use the Suggest or update a resort or event link on our contact page.

Privacy
Privacy notice
SNOW Daily is a read-only snow-data, forecast and news site. We keep the amount of data we handle to a minimum, and this page explains exactly what happens when you visit.
Discretion
What you tell us about your trips, your homes and the people you travel with stays between you and us. We keep it on your customer record at Stripe, not in a database of our own; we never sell it, never use it for advertising and never show it on the site or to other members. Only you see your settings, and only the people you add yourself receive anything. Everything you add can be changed or removed at any time from your pass page, and it is deleted with the rest of your customer record. The sections below set out each use in full.
Who is responsible for your data
The controller of your personal data is Snow Daily, 61 Bridge Street, Kington, Herefordshire, United Kingdom, HR5 3DJ ("we", "us"). You can reach us at contact@snowdaily.live. We have assessed that we are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer; the contact above handles all data protection questions. This notice is given under Articles 13 and 14 of the UK GDPR.
Cookies
If you buy a season pass and sign in, the site sets one cookie (sd_pass) that holds a signed token proving this browser belongs to a current subscriber; it lasts 30 days, is used for nothing else and is strictly necessary for the feature you asked for, so we do not ask for consent before setting it. My mountains (the resorts you pin), your choice of language (once you pick one from the language menu), the home-page settings, the choice to hide finished events and, on a phone or tablet, your answer to the suggestion to add the site to your home screen ("Not now" or "Do not ask again", stored only when you choose one) are kept in your browser's local storage. If you hold a Season Pass and save a resort page for offline reading, that page, its figures and, if you choose, its 3D map and the resort's piste map are kept only on your phone (in its browser storage; the piste map is fetched from the resort's own site at that moment and passed straight to your phone, and we keep no copy), with the time you last confirmed your pass there. Nothing about them is sent to us. A saved page is deleted 7 days after it was saved, when you delete it, when you sign out, or when your pass ends. If you hold a Season Pass and are signed in, My mountains and your home-page settings are also saved with your subscription at Stripe, so they follow you to any device where you sign in; so are the resorts you choose for snow alerts and the snow briefing, as described below. Saved trips stay in your browser only. Visitors who do not sign in get no cookies at all. We store only what you ask us to keep or what is strictly necessary for the service, and there is no advertising script, no social-media widget and no cross-site tracking, so we do not show a cookie banner. The light/dark switch applies to the current visit only; no display preference is stored. You can clear cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings.
Visitor counts
To know which pages are read, the site uses a page-view counter provided by our hosting provider, designed to work without cookies. It records the page viewed, the referring site, and the country, device type and browser in aggregate; it sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and does not track you across other websites. Visits on the same day are grouped by a hash of the request that is discarded at the end of the day, and we do not use this information to identify individual visitors. When the site is opened from a phone's home screen, the page view is marked as such (utm_source=homescreen), and taps on the add-to-home-screen suggestion are counted in the same aggregate way.
Season pass payments
Payments are taken by Stripe through Onelink (called Link outside the UK), our merchant of record, on Stripe's own checkout. We never see your card details. Stripe shares with us your email address and the status of your subscription, which we use to send sign-in links and to decide what to unlock. Sign-in emails are sent through our email provider. If you tick Service updates on your pass page, we add your email address to our service-updates list, also held by our email provider, with the date you opted in, and email you occasionally when something changes on SNOW Daily: new features, and changes to how our figures are made; this is based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by unticking the box or using the unsubscribe link in every email, and we keep the address on the list only while you remain subscribed to it (an unsubscribed address is kept only as a record that you opted out). For any methodology document requested before delivery was paused, we retain a record of the request (your email address, the date and time, the browser used and the IP address the request came from) at data@snowdaily.live, so that we know who has received the document; this is our legitimate interest in protecting the work, and the record is kept for as long as you hold a pass and up to two years afterwards. Apart from that opt-in list and limited technical records, we do not keep a separate customer database: subscriber, payment and subscription records are held by Stripe and Onelink, and we store limited service settings and security information in your Stripe customer record (and, for phone alerts, in the private store described below), and you can manage your subscription from the billing page or your Onelink account.
Hosting
The map on each resort page is drawn by this site from OpenStreetMap, Copernicus DEM and ESA WorldCover data stored here, with a map library (Leaflet) served from this site; no map server or other third party is contacted when it loads. The OpenStreetMap extracts (lifts, pistes, place names) are available on this site under the Open Database Licence, as its share-alike condition requires; full credits are in the footer.
The site is served by our hosting provider. Like any web host, its servers record standard technical data for each request (IP address, browser type, time and page requested) in order to deliver the page and keep the service secure. Its firewall also uses the IP address and browser details of each request to limit the rate of requests and to block automated scraping and abusive traffic, and records the requests it flags or blocks. We use this information only to deliver the site, keep it secure, prevent abuse and fix faults, not to identify visitors.
Third-party content
All fonts, styles, scripts and data files are hosted on our own domain. Headlines, events, webcams and piste maps are links: nothing is loaded from those sites until you click.
Snow data
Snowfall figures are model estimates from Open-Meteo, fetched by our update process on our servers, not by your browser. No visitor data is sent to Open-Meteo.
Airport forecasts and reports in Arrival's Getting there come from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center (United States), which publishes each country's official aviation weather reports. Our servers ask it for the airports' codes only; your browser does not contact it and no visitor data is sent. The model forecast at airports and altiports comes from Open-Meteo in the same way as the snow figures.
Why we use your data, and our lawful basis
We use personal data only for the purposes below, each with one lawful basis under Article 6 of the UK GDPR.
Browsing the site (page-view counts and server logs). Purpose: to deliver pages, keep the service secure and see which pages are read. Basis: our legitimate interests in running and securing the site (Article 6(1)(f)); the counts are aggregate and cookieless, and we do not use them to identify anyone, so the impact on you is minimal.
Security, fraud prevention and misuse. Purpose: to protect accounts and the service, prevent fraud and misuse, and enforce our terms. Data: sign-in attempts and mistyped codes, the list of devices where you are signed in, and request details (IP address, browser and access patterns) seen by our host's firewall. We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably believe there has been misuse, fraud or a serious breach of our terms; a person reviews any decision to suspend or cancel a pass. Basis: our legitimate interests in protecting the service and its users (Article 6(1)(f)).
Buying and holding a season pass. Purpose: to check that you hold a current pass, send you a sign-in link and unlock pass features. Data: the email address you used at checkout and the status of your subscription, which we receive from Stripe, and the signed sd_pass cookie. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)). The cookie is strictly necessary for the service you asked for. If you do not provide an email address, we cannot give you a pass.
Payment, tax and refunds. Sold through Link, LLC (trading as Onelink in the UK and Link elsewhere), part of the Stripe group, is the merchant of record and takes your payment details, issues receipts and handles tax, refunds and disputes under its own terms and privacy notice. We never see your card details. We do not hold payment records of our own.
Emails you switch on (optional). Purpose: to email you what you have switched on: snow alerts, first tracks (with your snow alerts), the daily or weekly snow briefing, the departure brief (with your trip notes) and, with Le Domaine, your residence emails. Data: your pass email address; the resorts you chose (up to ten each for alerts and the briefing); your alert threshold and whether you want rain alerts or first tracks; how often the briefing comes; whether you want the departure brief; and a short record of what has been sent, so nothing is sent twice. These are kept on your customer record at Stripe, not in a database of our own, and are deleted when you switch that email off. The emails are sent through our email provider. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)), as part of the pass service you asked for. Stop any of them at any time on your pass page or with the link in every email; first tracks can come as a phone notification instead (below). Residence emails are about the homes you name under Homes (below) and can be copied to the people you choose.
Snow alerts on your phone (optional). Purpose: to show your snow alerts as notifications on the phones where you switch them on. Data: for each such phone (up to five), the push address and keys your browser creates for this site, the phone's time zone (so that alerts due between 22:00 and 07:00 are held until 07:00 local time) and the language of the site, plus any alert waiting for 07:00. These are kept in private storage at our hosting provider in London, linked to your Stripe customer record by a one-way code, with no name or email address. The message itself is carried by your phone's push service (Apple, Google, Mozilla or Microsoft). They are deleted when you stop alerts on that phone, switch alerts off, or your pass ends. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)). You can also block notifications for this site in your phone's settings at any time.
Settings across devices. Purpose: so My mountains, your home-page settings and your Trip Planner trips follow you to every device where you sign in. Data: the resorts you pinned, your home-page settings, and your trips: the dates, area, filters, arrival airport and resorts being compared for your current trip, and up to nine saved trips or comparisons with the names you gave them, with the time they were last saved, and your style (Piste Rouge or Piste Noire), which also sets the look of your member emails. Please do not put personal details in trip names. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)), as part of the pass service you asked for. Kept on your customer record at Stripe while you hold a pass; unpin resorts, change the settings or remove a saved trip at any time, and they are removed with the rest of your customer record.
Trip Planner Arrival. Purpose: so Arrival follows the resort you are staying at, shows rain or snow at your hotel and the way to the lifts, ski school, ski hire, lift tickets and a supermarket, and sends your trip notes if you switch them on. Data: the resort, the height you chose (upper slopes or base), the hotel you added (its name, address, position and height, and a ski school you added) and whether trip notes are on and how they reach you (email, phone or both), with a short record of which notes were sent. These are kept on your phone and on your customer record at Stripe while you hold a pass, so they follow you to every device where you sign in and so we know where to send the notes. Finding your hotel: your phone downloads the resort's list of places once (from OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, kept on our own servers) and searches it on the phone, so what you type is never sent to us or anyone else. Use my location: if you tap it, your browser asks your permission, and your position is used on your phone only to list the resorts nearest you; it is not sent to us or kept. Trip notes are sent by email through our email provider and to the phones you turned on for snow alerts, about 7 am and 6 pm resort time during your trip, each with a link to stop them. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)), as part of the pass service you asked for. Remove your hotel, change resort or switch the notes off in Arrival at any time; signing out removes the hotel and notes choice from that browser, and they are removed with the rest of your customer record.
Places you add in Arrival. Purpose: so Arrival shows the ski school, ski hire, lift tickets, supermarket or other places you chose yourself. Data: for each place you change or add (up to eight), its kind, the name you gave it and its position on the map. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)). Kept on your phone and on your customer record at Stripe while you hold a pass; choose Use ours or remove it in Arrival at any time.
Le Domaine (optional). Purpose: to provide the optional services you switch on in Settings under Le Domaine (Homes, When to go, Your residence emails, Airports, Your people, and Calendar and print). Le Domaine is by invitation: we record on your customer record that you have been invited. One switch in Settings turns Le Domaine on, and with it every service; each can then be hidden, and shown again, on the Le Domaine page. Data: which of them are on and, on the Le Domaine page, up to three airports you usually fly into (their codes only). Each is off until you switch it on, and switching it off stops it. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)). Kept on your customer record at Stripe. For each home, the page also shows events at its resort from our public events calendar, a link to the resort’s own webcams and the latest headlines from the news feed the resort’s website publishes; to show the headlines, our server asks the resort’s website for its feed, without sending anything about you, and keeps the headlines for up to 6 hours.
Your people (optional). Purpose: to send copies of your snow alerts, snow briefing or trip notes to up to three people you name, such as a PA, a family office or a chalet manager. Data: each person's email address, which emails they receive, whether they have confirmed and when they were invited, and the times of your last few invitations (at most six in 30 days). Before anything else is sent, we email each person once to say who added them and ask them to confirm; if they do not, nothing more is sent. The copies come by email through our email provider, each with the person's own link to stop them; they give no access to your account or settings. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)) for your data; for the people you add, our legitimate interests in delivering the service you asked for, limited by their confirmation and their right to stop at any time (Article 6(1)(f)). Please add only people who expect to hear from us. Kept on your customer record at Stripe until you remove a person, the person stops the copies, or your customer record is deleted.
Homes (optional). Purpose: to tell you whether rain or snow is forecast at the height of up to three properties you name, on your home page and in your snow briefing, and to watch their resorts with your snow alerts. Data: for each, the resort, the name you gave it and its height in metres. We do not ask for or keep an address. Snow and temperature at the home's height are worked out on the page and for your residence emails from the forecasts we publish for the resort base and upper slopes; nothing more about you is used. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)). Kept on your phone and on your customer record at Stripe; change or remove them on your pass page at any time.
Calendar link (optional). Purpose: so your calendar app can show your trips. Data: a short random key on your customer record; the link carries it, signed, and your calendar app fetches your current and saved trips (dates, trip names and resorts) through it. Anyone you give the link to can see those trips, so share it only with people you choose. Making a new link stops the old one at once, and switching the calendar off stops it entirely. Basis: performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)).
Shared trip links. Purpose: so you can send a shortlist or comparison to the people you travel with, including people without a pass. Data: the link carries the trip's dates, area, filters, arrival airport and the resorts in it; it never includes your name, email address, My mountains or saved trips. To keep sharing within its limits we keep, on your customer record, the number of links you made this month, and for each link a count of views by people without a pass, for 14 days. A view is counted once a day on each device, using a one-way code made from the device's internet address and browser type; only that code is kept, and no cookie is set. Basis: our legitimate interests in providing the feature you chose to use and in preventing misuse (Article 6(1)(f)). Opening a shared link does not change the recipient's own settings.
AI assistant connector (optional). Purpose: to answer the questions you ask in an AI assistant that supports MCP connectors, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or Perplexity, with our figures. Data: the request the app sends (for example the resort you asked about), which we use to answer and do not keep; a count of connections and of the tools used, with the app's name (or "other" for an app we do not list) and the date, and nothing about you or your conversation; and, if you connect your Season Pass, a sign-in token held by the app that identifies your pass but not your email address; the Stripe numbers we need to check the pass are sealed inside it so that only we can read them. Pass connections are counted with a one-way code made from the customer number. Basis: our legitimate interests in providing the feature you chose to use and in knowing how much it is used (Article 6(1)(f)) and, for the Season Pass connector, performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)). The app's provider, for example Anthropic for Claude, OpenAI for ChatGPT, Google for Gemini, xAI for Grok or Perplexity, handles your conversation as an independent controller under its own privacy notice.
Service updates (optional). Purpose: to email you occasionally when something changes on SNOW Daily: new features, and changes to how our figures are made. Data: your email address and the date you opted in. Basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time without affecting the pass. Withdrawing consent does not affect our use of your data before you withdrew it.
Messages to us. Purpose: to answer your enquiry, correction or licence question. Data: your name (if given), email address and message. Basis: our legitimate interests in responding to you (Article 6(1)(f)), or, where you are a pass holder asking about your subscription, performing our contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
Legal obligations. Where the law requires us to keep or disclose a record, for example for tax or in response to a lawful request, the basis is legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)).
We do not collect special category data, we do not use your data for advertising or profiling, and we make no automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects. Whether you hold a pass is decided by checking your subscription status at Stripe, not by profiling.
Where your data comes from
We collect most data from you directly (your email address when you sign in, opt in to service updates and your messages). For pass holders, Stripe and Onelink give us the email address and subscription status of the person who bought the pass (Article 14). Page-view and log data are generated by your browser's request to the site.
Who receives your data
We do not sell your data. The following providers act for us as processors, or, in the case of Stripe and Onelink for payments, as independent controllers of the payment and subscription data they collect. We are the controller of the data we receive from them and use to provide the pass, including your email address, subscription status and the service settings stored in your Stripe customer record. Their own privacy notices explain how they handle payment data, receipts, tax records and disputes.
Our hosting provider (United States) hosts the site, runs its server functions and provides cookieless analytics. Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (United States and Ireland, including Stripe Payments UK, Ltd.), with Sold through Link, LLC (formerly Lemon Squeezy, LLC; 222 South Main Street, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101, USA; trading as Onelink in the UK) as merchant of record, take payments and hold the subscriber list. Our email provider (United States) sends sign-in and snow-alert emails and holds the service-updates list. We also disclose data where the law requires it.
Transfers outside the UK
Our hosting provider, Stripe and our email provider process data in the United States, which is outside the UK. The UK government has made adequacy regulations for transfers to US organisations certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension (the "UK–US data bridge"). Where a provider is certified and the transfer falls within the scope of its certification, we rely on those regulations (Article 45 of the UK GDPR). Where it does not, or if a certification lapses or the UK Extension ceases to apply, the transfer continues only under the safeguards in that provider's data processing terms, which incorporate the Standard Contractual Clauses with the ICO's UK International Data Transfer Addendum (Article 46), or the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement. You can see each certification on the Data Privacy Framework list, and you can ask us for a copy of the safeguards in use.
How long we keep each record
Page-view counts. Aggregate only; the daily hash used to group visits is discarded at the end of that day.
Server logs (IP address, browser, time, page). Held by our hosting provider for the short period its service allows for security and fault-finding. We do not export or keep a copy. From each visit our hosting provider also tells the page the country the connection comes from, so it can show what applies there, such as UK school holidays in the Trip Planner; the country is not stored.
Sign-in cookie (sd_pass). 30 days from issue, then it expires; while it lasts, the site re-checks your subscription with Stripe at least once a week. Sign-in links are valid for 20 minutes and work once.
Subscriber and payment records. Held by Stripe and Onelink for as long as they need to for the subscription and for their own tax, accounting and legal duties, under their notices. We do not keep a separate copy; we look up your email and subscription status at sign-in and about once a week while you stay signed in. We add technical fields to your Stripe customer record: fingerprints of the past hour's sign-in links and six-digit sign-in codes (cleared when one is used; the code itself is never stored), the times of any mistyped codes in the last 24 hours (so codes cannot be guessed), and a list of the devices where you are signed in (up to five: a random device number, the kind of device and browser, whether it is the home-screen app, the day you signed in and the day it was last used, plus the numbers of devices you signed out, so they stay signed out). We store no IP address or location for this. You can see and sign out these devices on your pass page; the list is deleted when your pass ends.
Your people, homes, places you add and the calendar key. On your customer record at Stripe until you remove them, a person stops their copies, or your customer record is deleted. A person who stops their copies is removed at once; we keep no list of them. Copies of emails: we keep no copy; our email provider keeps delivery records for the limited period its service sets.
Sign-in emails. We keep no copy. Our email provider keeps delivery records for the limited period its service sets.
AI assistant connector. We keep no copy of requests beyond our hosting provider's standard logs. Connection counts hold no name, email address or conversation and are deleted after two years. A Season Pass sign-in token lasts one hour and is renewed only while Stripe confirms the pass is current; the access you allow ends after 30 days, or sooner if you remove the connector in the app or your pass ends.
Service-updates list entry. For as long as you stay subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we keep only the address and the opt-out, as a suppression record so that we do not email you again, for up to two years, and then delete it. You can ask us to delete it sooner.
Messages to us. For up to 12 months after our last exchange, unless we need them longer to deal with a continuing dispute or legal claim.
Children
SNOW Daily is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it where appropriate.
Your rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to: be told how your data is used (this notice); ask for a copy of your data (access); have inaccurate data corrected; have your data erased in certain cases; ask us to restrict how we use it; receive the data you gave us in a portable format where we use it on the basis of consent or contract; object to our use of it on the basis of legitimate interests; object at any time to direct marketing, including by using the unsubscribe link in any email; and withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it (for example by unticking Service updates or using the unsubscribe link in any email). These rights are not absolute and some apply only in certain circumstances.
To use any of them, email contact@snowdaily.live. We will reply within one month of receiving a valid request. Where a request is complex or you make several requests, we may extend this by up to two further months, and will tell you why within the first month. We may need to check your identity before responding. We do not usually charge a fee, but may charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive. For data held by Stripe or Onelink, you can also contact them directly.
Complaints and the ICO
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, please tell us first at contact@snowdaily.live and we will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and respond without undue delay. You also have the right to complain at any time to the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, telephone 0303 123 1113, or by post to Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
