❄ Snowday
Made in Colorado · 28 resorts · 1 mission

Snowday alerts you the night before a real powder day. And writes the email to your boss.

We watch NOAA snowfall at every Colorado resort. When your resort clears your threshold, you get the ping at 6 PM — plus a one-tap AI-generated call-out email that's plausible, polite, and unrepeatable.

Free forever for one resort. Pro is $19/season. No app to install.

"Every year I burn a sick day on the wrong day. The forecast looked huge and it ended up being 2 inches." — r/skiing
"I've used 'food poisoning' three times this season. Need new material." — r/coloradosprings
"OpenSnow is great but it's 7 tabs and a spreadsheet to plan a sneak day." — r/Denver

Three steps. About 90 seconds.

1

Pick your resort & threshold

Loveland at 4"+? Aspen at 8"+? Steamboat at 10"+? Your call. We'll only ping you when it counts.

2

Get the alert at 6 PM

NOAA forecasts are crunched every hour. If overnight totals clear your bar, you get the ping with 18-hour heads-up.

3

One tap. The email writes itself.

Tell us your job, your boss's tone, and what you've burned this season. AI drafts something plausible. Copy. Send. Send it.

FAQ

Is this real? I feel like I'm being trolled.

It's real. We use NOAA snowfall data + Gemini AI. The excuse generator is live on the next page — try it without signing up.

Is this actually ethical?

Snowday writes your email. We don't lie for you. The tool helps you compose a professional, brief out-of-office. Most users use it for legitimate PTO and just want the wording right.

How accurate are the forecasts?

NOAA + NWS Colorado mountain point forecasts, refreshed hourly. We surface confidence intervals. We won't ping you on a low-confidence storm.

Why only Colorado?

Because we ski here. And because going hyper-local means better forecasts. Lifetime+ users get UT/WY/MT coverage as we roll out.

What if I just want forecasts and no email?

Sign up free. Get alerts. Ignore the excuse generator. We won't judge.

When does Pro start?

The day you pay. We pro-rate refunds if you bail before Nov 1.

The next real powder day is closer than you think.

Snowday is free for one resort. Forever. Get the night-before ping, generate the email, ski the storm.
