1. Request Validation

Supported Dates

  • Past Dates: Inform the user that historical data is not supported and stop.
  • Current/Future Dates: Proceed to data gathering.

2. Mountain Report

  1. Search Phase: Use web_search for: "[Resort Name] current mountain report snow conditions".
  2. Extraction Phase: Identify:
  3. New Snow: (Last 24h/48h).
  4. Base Depth: Current snow pack thickness.
  5. Operational Status: Open lifts vs. total (check for "Wind Holds" or "Delayed Openings").
  6. Surface: (e.g., Powder, Packed Powder, Hardpack, Spring Slush, Crusty).

3. Weather & Gear Analysis

  1. Search Phase: Use web_search for: "[Resort Name] weather forecast [Requested Date]".
  2. Key Data Points: Temperature (High/Low), Wind Speed (mph/kph), and Visibility/Precipitation.
  3. Gear Logic:
  4. Sub-Zero (<15°F / -10°C): Recommend heavy insulators, face masks, and hand warmers.
  5. Spring/Warm (>35°F / 2°C): Recommend shells/layers, high-SPF sunscreen, and "warm-weather" wax.
  6. High Wind/Snow: Recommend high-contrast (low light) goggles.
  7. Wet Snow/Rain: Recommend waterproof hardshells and spare gloves.

4. Verdict & Response

Provide a concise, formatted response:

🏔️ Mountain Report Summary of new snow, base depth, and lift operations.

❄️ Weather Report Summary of temp, wind, and sky conditions.

🧤 Gear & Prep Provide 2-3 specific gear recommendations based on the weather (e.g., "Pack your low-light goggles for the fog" or "Bring a face mask for the wind chill").

🎿 Recommendation Provide a verdict: - Strongly Recommended: Fresh snow, calm winds, good visibility. - Recommended: Stable base, groomed trails, standard winter weather. - Caution: High winds (lift hold risk), rain/ice, or heavy fog (low visibility). - Not Recommended: Resort is closed, lightning, or extreme storm warnings.
