OpenSnow — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the opensnow-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install opensnow --cli-only

2. Verify: opensnow-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/productivity/opensnow/cmd/opensnow-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

When to Use This CLI

Use the OpenSnow CLI when you need mountain weather forecasts with snow-specific detail — day/night snowfall splits, powder quality, and resort operating status. Ideal for trip planning agents that need to compare resorts, track storms, or answer 'where should I ski this weekend?' The Daily Snow digest provides expert meteorologist analysis not available from generic weather APIs.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Powder intelligence

• powder-score — Rate upcoming days 1-10 for powder quality by combining forecast snow totals, wind, temperature, and historical averages

  When an agent needs to recommend the single best day to ski this week, this command gives a scored ranking instead of raw forecast numbers

  opensnow-pp-cli powder-score alta --days 5 --agent

• powder-rank — Rank all synced resorts by powder potential, combining expected snowfall, base depth, and terrain openness

  When an agent needs to answer 'where should I ski this weekend in Colorado', this gives a ranked list with scores

  opensnow-pp-cli powder-rank --slugs alta,steamboat,telluride --agent

• storm-track — Show storm progression — when snow starts, peaks, and ends — by correlating rolling hourly forecasts over time

  When planning travel around a storm, this shows exactly when to arrive and when the storm window closes

  opensnow-pp-cli storm-track telluride --agent

• overnight — Check the semi-daily forecast for the overnight period at favorited resorts — the powder hunter's morning ritual

  The first question every skier asks: 'How much snow fell overnight?' This answers it for all favorites in one call

  opensnow-pp-cli overnight --agent

Local state that compounds

• dashboard — One-command view of all favorited locations with current temp, 24h snow, 5-day total, and operating status

  Replaces opening the OpenSnow app — one command shows everything an agent needs about the user's preferred mountains

  opensnow-pp-cli dashboard --agent

• diff — Compare current snow report against the last-synced version to see what changed: new snow, lifts opened or closed, status changes

  Agents monitoring resort conditions can detect meaningful changes without parsing raw reports

  opensnow-pp-cli diff alta --agent

• history — Show snowfall trends, season totals vs averages, and base depth progression from cached report snapshots

  When planning a trip weeks out, historical context shows whether the mountain is trending up or down

  opensnow-pp-cli history steamboat --days 30 --agent

Agent-native plumbing

• digest — Pull all Daily Snow posts for favorited regions, strip HTML to clean text, and show a summary digest

  Expert forecasts from OpenSnow meteorologists, rendered for agents and terminals instead of requiring a browser

  opensnow-pp-cli digest --region colorado,tahoe --agent

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

opensnow-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
