How the verdict is made

Will Saas-Fee have snow in mid-December?

We don't guess. We check every season since 2011: did the resort have a 30 cm+ base at mid-mountain by 15 December?

15 of the last 15 seasons hit a 30 cm+ base by 15 December; the median base on that date is 130 cm. The same record, month by month, lives on every resort page.
