By using Pine Forecast, you agree to these terms. We have kept them short and readable.
What the site provides
Pine Forecast offers free crowd estimates and trip-timing information for outdoor destinations. The content is for general planning and informational purposes only.
Estimates, not guarantees
Our forecasts are estimates produced by a rule-based model using calendar and seasonal signals. They are not live data, predictions of actual conditions, or guarantees. Real crowds and conditions vary. You are responsible for verifying current weather, road, avalanche, wildfire, reservation, and closure information with official sources before you travel.
No professional or safety advice
Nothing on this site is safety, navigation, medical, or professional advice. Outdoor activities carry inherent risks. You are responsible for your own decisions and preparation.
No official affiliation
Pine Forecast is independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Park Service, any ski resort or resort operator, or any government agency.
Affiliate links
Some pages include clearly labeled Amazon Associate links. If you buy through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our crowd estimates, rankings, or editorial choices.
Advertising and analytics
The site may display advertising supplied by Google AdSense and use Google Analytics. Advertising helps fund the site, but an ad does not mean Pine Forecast endorses, recommends, verifies, or guarantees the advertiser, product, service, or claim. Advertisers and linked services are responsible for their own offers, terms, privacy practices, and content. Your privacy choices and the information these services may process are described in our Privacy Policy.
Intellectual property
Pine Forecast's original text, design, model explanations, and branding are protected by applicable law. You may link to public pages and quote brief portions with attribution. You may not republish substantial portions, scrape the site in a way that disrupts service, or present our estimates as official or live data.
Acceptable use
Please use the site lawfully and do not attempt to disrupt it or misuse its content. We may update, change, or remove features at any time.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, Pine Forecast is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its estimates.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site changes. The effective date above identifies the current version. Continued use after an update means the revised terms apply to later use, to the extent permitted by law.
