An OpenSnow subscription for $50/year for a single recreational skier is high given the benefits.
I share an OpenSnow Group Plan with my brother and another friend. Generally, I modify accounts: North America and Europe/Japan. And switch one account to South America, Australia, and NZ. I set thresholds for snow over 6 inches for the mountains I might ski during the year, and get forecasts.
However, I really only derive benefits while on a ski road trip or safari/safari or when deciding on a short-notice ski trip, like to Tahoe. Some West Coast locations can be last-minute decisions due to airline competition, such as Seattle, Portland, Spokane, SLC, Denver, and occasionally others (Boise, and some more remote locations using miles (Jackson, Aspen, etc.)
I suggest that people set up a Group Account and use Venmo or Cash App to send pro rata shares, bringing it in line with its value - like $12/year.

The single user plan went away. $50 is the base plan for 1-4 users.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will join forces with Adam and a friend or two of his that have a group subscription.

Wow. Got lucky. I've never had a subscription before because I thought that even $30 was far too high. But they ran a 48hr sale of half price somewhere in the middle of summer so I begrudgingly bought one for this season at $15.
Might drop it like a hot rock by next summer when they want me to renew though.

Found the timing of the change. Renewals after Nov. 1 will automatically be upgraded.
Went hunting for info because a friend I asked about sharing in a Group has a renewal date in October. So her renewal notice wasn't for $49.99. My renewal was during the summer, so was the same amount as the previous summer.

I don't think it's that difficult to round up a group to share. Admittedly OpenSnow has become a must have for me due to facilitating/cross checking my in-season progress reports.
