Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check ROVE Snow Forecast every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 14

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

forecast
get_forecast
Get 15-day daily and 3-hourly snowfall, rain, temperature, and wind forecast numbers for one ski resort; use get_forecast_confidence instead for multi-model spread and horizon uncertainty. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
get_forecast_confidence
Evaluate weather-model agreement and horizon uncertainty for one ski resort's forecast; use get_forecast instead for daily and 3-hourly snowfall amounts. Diagnose model spread and days 1-3, 4-7, and 8-15 uncertainty, with unavailable values explicitly labeled. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
accuracy
get_accuracy
Read station-verified historical forecast accuracy for one ski resort or the 435-station backtest methodology; use get_forecast_confidence instead for uncertainty on the current upcoming forecast. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
avalanche
get_avalanche_danger
Get the official backcountry avalanche danger rating (1 Low to 5 Extreme) from the regional US avalanche center whose forecast zone covers one ski resort; use get_conditions instead for in-bounds snow depth and lift status, and get_forecast for upcoming snowfall. Returns center, zone, rating, travel advice, valid period and the official forecast link from the Avalanche.org public map layer (cached up to 1 hour). Ratings describe terrain outside resort boundaries and never replace ski patrol status; resorts outside US center coverage return not_covered with no invented rating. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
compare
compare_resorts
Compare 2 to 5 specific named ski resorts side by side across forecast snowfall, snowpack, lift status, pass, and verified accuracy; use find_powder instead when discovering top resorts across a whole region or pass. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
conditions
get_conditions
Get current base depth, recent snowfall observations, live lift or trail status, JMA AMeDAS station snow depth for Japan, and a compact avalanche and chain-control summary for one ski resort; use get_forecast instead for upcoming snowfall predictions. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
fetch
fetch
Fetch the full structured ROVE document and canonical URL for a resort:, region:, or pass: identifier returned by search; use get_forecast or get_conditions instead for targeted resort queries. Only internal catalog and cached documents are resolved; arbitrary external URLs are never fetched. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
opening
get_opening_dates
List ski resort opening dates, closing targets, and season operating status by region or pass; use get_conditions instead for one resort's live lift and snow depth details. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
plan
plan_trip
Rank ski resorts for a specific calendar trip window (start to end in YYYY-MM-DD); use find_powder instead for rolling next-N-days rankings starting today. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
powder
find_powder
Rank ski resorts by forecast snowfall over the next 1 to 15 days starting today; use plan_trip instead for a specific future calendar date range (start to end). Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
resort
get_resort_news
Get recent storm highlights, operator announcements, and weather news for one ski resort; use get_conditions instead for structured base depth and lift counts. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
resorts
search_resorts
Search the structured catalog of 667 ski resorts by name, region, pass, or country; use search instead for natural-language keyword discovery across resorts and regional/pass hubs. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
road
get_road_conditions
Get live Caltrans chain-control status (R-0 to R-3) and road closures on state highways near one California or Lake Tahoe ski resort; use get_conditions instead for on-mountain snow depth and lifts, and get_forecast for upcoming snowfall. Groups Caltrans CWWP2 checkpoints by route (for example US-395 at Mammoth, I-80 and SR-89 at Palisades Tahoe) with nearest distance, worst status and status time (cached up to 15 minutes). Outside California it returns not_covered plus the official state or provincial road information link, never an invented status. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.
search
search
Run OpenAI-compatible full-text keyword search across ROVE ski resorts, regional hubs, and pass hubs to obtain canonical IDs for fetch; use search_resorts instead for structured pass/country/region catalog filtering. Read-only results use in for snowfall, F for temperature, and include canonicalUrl and observedAt.

ROVE Snow Forecast — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ROVE Snow Forecast do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_resorts, fetch, find_powder, get_accuracy, get_avalanche_danger, get_conditions and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is ROVE Snow Forecast working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1357 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ROVE Snow Forecast?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to ROVE Snow Forecast?
No API key is involved. ROVE Snow Forecast answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is ROVE Snow Forecast?
It answers our handshake in 1357 ms on average, which is faster than 3% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is ROVE Snow Forecast open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at rove-ski.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
