Pulled straight from the server with tools/list on 2026-10-18.
search_resortsread-only

Find ski resorts worldwide by name, country or distance. Returns at most 20 matches and does not expose the bulk resort index.

get_conditionsread-only

Get current snow, reported lift and run counts, weather and season state. Lift and run counts are reported status, not guaranteed live.

get_forecastread-only

Get the available daily snow, temperature, freezing level and wind-hold risk forecast, up to 10 requested days.

plan_my_dayread-only

Build modelled suggested runs in time order from forecast weather, sun, snow and mapped terrain. Only plans days inside the reported winter season; summer lift or bike-park operation does not count as open for skiing. Easy, intermediate and advanced exclude expert, freeride and extreme terrain; only expert permits it. Suggestions are not a connected route or live piste status.

sun_on_the_mountainread-only

Show modelled sun and shade windows for eight slope aspects, with local terrain-horizon shading where DEM coverage exists.

route_on_mountainread-only

Route between named pistes, lifts, the resort base or latitude,longitude coordinates using mapped OSM pistes and lifts. Names match accent-insensitively and partially (exact, then prefix, then contained words); a piste or lift split into several connected OSM pieces counts as one. A lift used as from resolves to its top station, where you ski away; a lift used as to resolves to its bottom station,

avalanche_dangerread-only

Summarise the regional avalanche bulletin covering a resort: EAWS in Europe, avalanche.org centres in the US and Avalanche Canada, with zone, issuing centre, issue and expiry times and a link to the official forecast. Expired products are never shown as current. Never substitutes for the official bulletin or local advice.

mountain_factsread-only

Read mapped OSM terrain inventory, lift fleet, vertical, longest run, carefully matched Wikidata facts, season dates and modelled snow reliability.

where_is_it_snowingread-only

Rank the freshest recently reported snow from the cached EM Snow home-page ranking.

best_time_to_goread-only

Get historical snow odds from the local ERA5 archive and quiet-week guidance where the crowd scorer covers the resort.

season_recapread-only

Summarise the most recent completed ski season from the local ERA5 archive first.

snow_reliabilityread-only

Get an explainable snow-reliability score from long-run ERA5 snow depth.

nearby_resortsread-only

Find nearby resorts from the local EM Snow resort index.

get_webcamsread-only

Get nearby webcam images and their source links, with the required provider credit.

get_snow_reportsread-only

Get recent visible community reports, including whether each came from the website or was relayed by an AI assistant.

watch_resortread-only

Return a one-tap EM Snow URL where the person can watch a resort and optionally add dates. This tool does not collect email.

add_snow_report

Only relay a report from a person who is at, or was just at, the resort. Never invent a report. The report goes live immediately and is labelled as relayed via an AI assistant.

suggest_resort

Suggest a missing resort for human review. This never adds it directly to the resort index.

get_extended_outlookread-only

Get a 16-day daily outlook (snowfall, temperatures, freezing level, maximum gusts and, for the first days, precipitation probability) from EM Snow's self-hosted GFS and ECMWF IFS models. Days 1 to 7 overlap get_forecast; days 8 to 16 are low-confidence trend guidance only.

get_resort_mediaread-only

Get images for a resort that vision-capable assistants can show: nearby webcams with provider credit, a Wikimedia Commons photo with its per-file licence, author and source page, the EM Snow sun and shade teaser where one exists, and the resort page link. No trail-map image is available.

fly_this_mountainread-only

Get a link that plays a simulated 3D tour of a resort in the EM Snow flyby (lifts up, named runs down, on the mapped piste network), or a tour of runs you name. Pick names match like route_on_mountain; ambiguous names return candidates with picker ids. Status is ready, limited (small mapped network, the tour may be short) or unavailable (too few named runs or no linking lifts; the resort page is r
