gonna be far different. I just left aspen, and 2miles away at the airport, no precip and more clear vs dumping in town and on the mountain.
when a system hits a range it completely interacts with the mountain, socks it in and dumps.
personally I also check snow-forecast as it has a elevation widgets so you can see base mid and summit forecasts. I don't know what model it pulls from but its just automated from the data and does not do local corrections.
For a resort though, generally I will trust the resorts weather report as primary source for what to wear and so on.
