Update on sno.cam: Australian snow cams, Japan and North America, plus a world map

I’m the person behind au.sno.cam, which I shared here in June. Thanks to everyone who suggested cameras and gave feedback on the playback.

One request in that thread was coverage for Japan and North America. The site is now at sno.cam, with country pages for those places alongside the Australian cameras, plus a map to find cameras around the world.

Australian cams: https://sno.cam/au/cams

Map: https://sno.cam/map

The main idea is still being able to look back at earlier camera images instead of only seeing the latest frame. Where saved images are available, you can move through them to see how snow cover, cloud or visibility changed. Australian coverage includes Perisher, Thredbo, Buller, Hotham, Falls Creek and Tasmania.

For anyone looking overseas, here are the Japan https://sno.cam/jp/cams, US https://sno.cam/us/cams, and Canada https://sno.cam/ca/cams pages.

I’d appreciate another round of feedback: which Australian cameras are missing, and is moving through the history easy on your phone? If a camera looks broken or out of date, please tell me which one.

I built au.sno.cam — a way to view and replay Australian snow cams

I’ve been working on au.sno.cam, a site that brings Australian alpine webcams together in one place.

The main feature is the ability to scroll back through previous camera images instead of only seeing the latest frame. It makes it easier to check how conditions changed throughout the day, compare snowfall, cloud cover and visibility, or see what you missed earlier.

Current features include:

  • Snow cams from Australian resorts and alpine areas
  • Historical camera playback
  • A timeline for moving between captured images
  • Resort and camera filtering
  • Mobile and desktop support

The site is still being actively developed, so there may be the occasional broken camera or rough edge.

I’d appreciate any feedback, especially around:

  • Cameras or resorts that should be added
  • Features that would make the site more useful
  • Playback or loading issues
  • How the site works on mobile
