Hi Joe,

Not bad at all !

Here is what I use before heading to the slope :

Full weather forecast, really accurate... You have the cloud cover aswell, map animation and so on.

I bring that one back :)
An interesting link, that shows the current wind for the entire planet :) (Earth Wind Map). Forecast is only 24hrs.
You can zoom in, and click on the map to know the speed / direction etc..

And cool to watch too :)
