May Lake forecast questions

What are the odds of catching a May Lake opening?

Right now our forecast puts the next 30 days at a good chance of catching at least one availability opening for May Lake, based on 8 weeks of our own scan history. It's a band. See how we calculate it on the methodology page.

How is the May Lake forecast calculated?

We split our scan history into non-overlapping windows and measure how often at least one opening was actually detected, then shrink that rate toward a pooled prior so a short history can't overstate its confidence. Every number comes from real scan history. Full math on /forecasts.

Is this a guarantee that May Lake will open up?

No. It's a banded probability from historical scan data, not a prediction of a specific date and not a guarantee. Set an alert and we'll tell you the moment a real opening is detected.
