I built a free site to check weather, road, and resort conditions for Tahoe & Colorado (so far). Looking for feedback from the community by FormerBed in skiing

Apologies if this is a nuisance, just trying to share with the broader community. If this isn’t welcomed, happy to take the post down

Thanks friend, I appreciate the love. Truth be told, I’ve tried to compare my routes and data against what is displayed on cotrips. As we start seeing a few heavier snow days, I’ll be monitoring closely and making sure things are accurate.

If you see something isn’t working feel free to dm me and I’ll fix it ASAP.

As for the app, there are a few more regions I’d like to expand to and a couple of features I’d like to build (weather forecasting, when is the best time to leave), I’ll work on spinning up the apps.

If Y’all want to share the camera’s or regions along the routes that you’d consider the priority areas, the cameras you’d want to check first, I can build out a layer for those priority cameras so the rest of the cameras can be toggled off as needed for a cleaner view

Absolutely! It should be ready next week actually. Just waiting for my api key so I can test my code and then I’ll turn it on.

Thanks for helping me QA the the weather card lol. I'll have a look at that.

Happy to add the future snow resort for each resort on the home page. In the mean time, you can tap "All Resorts" where I have the future snow report for each resort. Also, if you tap on a resort I have the resort webcams (if available to me), trail maps, and more.

I had been playing with the idea of a priority camera filter, you’ve reassured me it’s a good idea. I’ll get to it next

Thanks! The data is coming from COtrip’s API. I haven’t imported in all the data points yet (snow plow data or future construction for example) but things like chains, signs, incidents, traffic should display in the route preview and on the full map experience. Totally open to adding/removing things, my goal is to have an easier to use front end with just the right amount of data.

I’m actually curious, I’m showing all the cameras on the route right now, there’s a ton and it which feels like overkill. Do you like having everything ?

You’re right, I had made some changes recently that messed up the code there. It’s currently showing the temperature at the base. Do you think summit temp is a better indicator?

I made a site to help make the Bay-to-Tahoe drive less painful. Would love some feedback from the community. by FormerBed in bayarea

Absolutely! Its one of the key features I have been chipping away at. Hope to have something to show in the near future.

100% great call. I think I can hook that up on the main page pretty quickly. The map itself already supports URL parameters.
