The Flakes is where skiers, snowboarders, and unapologetic winter addicts get their weekly dose of storm stoke, forecast therapy, and actual useful intel about where to chase snow.

Hosted by three OpenSnow meteorologists who wake up at ridiculous hours to watch weather models wobble, we break down what’s coming, what fizzled, and which mountains are about to make your season. Expect honest insights, a little forecasting chaos, and plenty of laughter about the emotional roller coaster that is winter.

From powder days to “white ribbons of death,” from La Niña surprises to fantasy-range heartbreak, we’re here every Wednesday to guide you through the storms—planned, missed, or completely made up by the long-range models.

If you ride lifts, tour the backcountry, obsess over gear, or simply love brands that keep you warm, dry, and less smelly on chairlifts… welcome to The Flakes. This is your winter tribe.

Perfect for listeners and sponsors who live the mountain lifestyle.
