Connects to verified snow data for 430+ ski resorts globally. Muse can find current conditions and 14-day forecasts, search for fresh powder, compare resorts, plan trips by date and ability, book lodging, and track El Niño patterns for seasonal outlooks.

Example request: "Show me where it's snowing right now and help me book a powder trip to the best resort this weekend."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use SnowData, Live Snow to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://mcp.snowdata.ai/. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.
