## Description

This MCP server provides a specialized modeling engine to calculate how snow crystal morphology and environmental conditions affect skiing. By analyzing crystal size, type, and snow state, it provides precise data on friction and maneuverability. Use `get_glide_coefficient` to determine sliding resistance, `get_turn_ease` to assess edge grip and control, `get_snow_quality` for a holistic skiability score, and `analyze_snow_environment` to understand the physical snow state including moisture and stability.

## Tools

### analyze_snow_environment
Provides a descriptive summary of the physical snow state based on environmental inputs

### get_glide_coefficient
Determines the resistance encountered when sliding across the snow surface

### get_snow_quality
Provides a single metric representing the overall skiability of the current snow conditions

### get_turn_ease
Calculates how much control and edge grip a skier has for maneuvering

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the snow quality for 1mm dendritic crystals at -5°C with 70% humidity in fresh snow?
```

**Response:** 
```
The snow quality score is 7.5, providing excellent balance between glide and control for these conditions.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much resistance will I face with 0.5mm granular crystals in settled snow at 1°C and 80% humidity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The glide coefficient is 0.12, indicating very low resistance and smooth sliding.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Describe the snow state for -2°C, 50% humidity, and settled snow.
```

**Response:** 
```
The snow state is stable, with moderate moisture levels and high structural stability.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does crystal type affect skiing?**
Different crystal shapes like dendritic or granular change how crystals interlock, which directly impacts the `get_turn_ease` score and the overall glide coefficient.

**Can I use this to predict snow quality?**
Yes, the `get_snow_quality` tool provides a single metric representing the overall skiability based on temperature, humidity, and crystal characteristics.

**What is the difference between new and settled snow in the model?**
The model uses the `isSettled` parameter to distinguish between high-porosity fresh snow and compacted, stable settled snow, which changes the friction and stability calculations.
