Tell it how you like to ski and where you'll go. Powder Pilot reads the forecast, weighs the snow against what you actually want, and calls the trip — the way a skier decides, not a search box.
A prototype is only interesting if it's arguing for something. Each of these is a bet about what a skier actually needs, framed the way I'd bring it to a roadmap.
Every snow report is a claim. A skier deciding at 5am needs to know how much to trust it, so the report carries a confidence meter, not just inches.
"Best snow near me, for how I ski" beats a ranked list of every resort. Personalized matching turns data into a decision.
"Tell me when my resorts are about to get hit" is the notification a skier will never mute — the hook that brings them back every storm cycle.
