Forecast tips for Cupid Valley
Read the freezing level before the snowfall total. The headline number only helps once you know whether Sea of Japan storm flow is the pattern to watch. With a 430 to 920 metre elevation band and 490 metres of vertical, the gladed pockets are the first place to check once the groomers get tracked. A seasonal baseline around 12 metres means moderate-looking totals can still refresh the main lines quickly. The swing variable is whether the snow line stays below the 430 metre base through the storm. Use the access rules on the day as the limit, then let the wind and temperature decide how far to push it. Chase it when 10 to 20 cm lands cold to the base; skip it when the forecast shows a warm lower mountain.
