About Us
SnowSignals is on a mission to increase joy in the mountains. We believe in the power of nature and want to create more joyful moments.
Our Principles
All skiers welcome
The mountains are for everyone, whether you live here or not. We're all children of nature.
No right or wrong way - just your way
Recreate how you want to, as long as you do no harm. The right way is the one you take.
Make the most of what you have
We can't control the weather, but we can control ourselves. Great skiing can be had any day with the right mindset and know-how. A great season is just a bunch of great days.
Savor what you have
Skiing, like life, is transient. Every moment we have on the mountains is a gift. There are no bad days in the mountains.
Our Team
We're a team of skiers, scientists, and engineers from institutions including UC Berkeley, SpaceX, DoorDash, C3 AI, and more. We've developed models bridging the physical and digital worlds; mapping and routing systems scaled across continents; and consumer UIs used by hundreds of millions of people. We're excited to focus our efforts on improving the sport we all love.
From the Founder
Hi, I'm Richard, CEO/Founder of SnowSignals. I built SnowSignals out of my love for and frustration with skiing. Too many days I've found myself saying "why are conditions so bad?" or "how did that guy know to go over there?".
Fed up with my poor snow-finding, I decided to build SnowSignals — the world's first snow conditions forecast.
SnowSignals has helped me have more fun in the mountain, and I hope it can do the same for you.
