What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

SnowSignals - the snow conditions forecast. I love skiing but suck at finding great snow, especially in Tahoe, CA where the snow can be finicky.

SnowSignals forecasts snow conditions to show where you should be skiing. It does this by calculating a net energy balance across the terrain using weather data as input and simulating snow metamorphosis. We started a few months ago focused on the spring freeze/thaw use case and are ramping up on the winter use case (much more sophisticated metamorphosis simulations, wind transport, etc) - in winter '25, you'll know exactly where the powder stashes are and which ice sheets to avoid.

Less guesswork and more stoke is the goal!
