PeakCam Snow is read-only snow data for about 150 ski resorts in the US, Canada, Chile and Argentina (https://www.peakcam.io). Every snow number carries a `source`: `snotel` means measured at a USDA NRCS SNOTEL station near the resort (quality-controlled, refreshed every 6 hours, valid at the station's elevation rather than the summit); `open_meteo` means a weather-model estimate for resorts with no station; `pipeline`, `manual` and `resort` are blends or hand-entered values. Webcams are returned as links only: the resort's PeakCam page, the operator's stream URL and, when one exists, a still-image URL with its capture time. Never describe a frame you have not seen. Workflow: search_resorts turns a name into a slug; get_resort_conditions, get_resort_cams, get_forecast and get_snow_history take that slug; find_powder ranks resorts by new snow (sourceOnly="snotel" for measured-only); compare_resorts sets 2–6 resorts side by side; get_opening_dates lists season dates. When you answer, label each number with its source and time (for example "6 in in 24 h, SNOTEL-measured, 2026-12-20 12:00 UTC"), call model values estimates, and link the resort's canonicalUrl. Each resort is also readable as markdown at peakcam://resorts/{slug}.
Known tools 14
search_resortsFind PeakCam resorts by name (or part of one, or a region) and get their slugs with a one-line snow summary each.
Inferred read-onlyget_resort_conditionsThe latest snow report for one resort with provenance: new snow 24 h / 48 h, base depth, snow water equivalent, percent of normal, 7-day trend, rating, season status, plus a cam summary and the canonical PeakCam URL to cite.
Inferred read-onlyget_resort_camsThe resort's webcams as links: PeakCam page URL, the operator's stream or page URL, a still-image URL when one exists, and health (live / down / unchecked, from PeakCam's probe, not proof of a live broadcast).
Inferred read-onlyfind_powderRank resorts by new snow in the last 24 or 48 hours, optionally within one state/province and above a minimum.
Inferred read-onlycompare_resortsSide-by-side latest snow, season status and cam counts for 2–6 resorts.
Inferred read-onlyget_forecastFive-day National Weather Service forecast for a US resort (daily high/low, text forecast, precipitation chance, wind) with a rough snow estimate derived from the forecast wording.
Inferred read-onlyget_snow_historyDaily snow depth, snow water equivalent, precipitation accumulation and temperatures for the last 1–30 days at the resort's station (SNOTEL where there is one, Open-Meteo model otherwise), newest first.
Inferred read-onlyget_opening_datesSeason opening and closing dates with status (open / closed / unknown) for every resort, or those in one state/province, soonest opening first.
Inferred read-onlyget_resort_profileWho and where a resort is, without the snow numbers: location and elevations, website and social links, PeakCam's cam page, the SNOTEL station its numbers come from (if any), season status, cam counts, and every URL PeakCam publishes for it (page, JSON, markdown, Atom feed, state hub).
Inferred read-onlyget_percent_of_normalSNOTEL-fed resorts ranked by snowpack relative to normal: snow water equivalent against the station's own 1991–2020 median for today's date, deepest first, optionally within one state.
Inferred read-onlylist_regionsEvery state, province and country PeakCam covers, with resort, reporting, measured (SNOTEL) and cam counts and the hub page URL.
Inferred read-onlyget_alert_optionsHow to be told when it snows, without this server writing anything: the powder-alert threshold and schedule, the e-mail, webhook (Standard Webhooks, signed), Atom and iCal channels, the per-resort public Atom feed, the webhook payload contract, and the manage page where a person registers a destination.
Inferred read-onlyget_cam_timelineArchived still frames for a resort's webcams (or one cam) over the last 1–48 hours, as links with capture times, plus the newest storm frame on tape per cam.
Inferred read-onlyaskOne natural-language question in, one tool result out, deterministically: the router resolves the resort by name or nickname, picks an intent from the wording (snow, open/closed, forecast, cams, history, compare, where did it snow, percent of normal, profile, regions, alerts) and calls the matching tool.
