SnoCountry Mountain Reports, a not-for-profit ski and snowboard conditions reporting entity, began as the New England Ski Areas Council (NESAC) in October 1968. The original staff of two people was based in the garage of a private home in Woodstock, Vermont. SnoCountry Mountain Reports was the first and is now the largest snow conditions reporting service in the world.
SnoCountry provides snow conditions reports for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing, along with resort information, to a vast array of media including a national network of radio (over 850 AM and FM stations and XM) and television stations as well as numerous web sites. The Weather Channel, The Associated Press, ESPN, and The New York Times are among those that use SnoCountry Mountain Reports' conditions feeds. Ski and snowboard conditions are reported to a weekly audience of over 10 million.
