I'm particularly interested in wind speed and direction.
Noaa and Wunderground suck for this. Anything else?

I like: http://www.intellicast.com/ (wind - http://www.intellicast.com/National/...ation=USCO0363)
It has all sorts of cool stuff.

*When in doubt, air it out.

You can personalize one of these pages with a bunch of cool weather guru stuff
Second Fireweather. I've customized mine over the years for the zones I hit.
CPF is now called opensnow.com I guess... I used that the last 2 seasons...
Sorry for the double post... but does anyone have a good pow forecast app for Android?
Ive always just followed the whether on the CAIC website and found it to be pretty right on.
+1 for CAIC
Does anyone use snowforecast.com?
While it doesn't do much for wind speeds, www.powderchasers.com is good for overall weather, snow predictions, and general weather flow patterns. He pretty much nails Utah and Colorado on a regular basis.
MeoWest for wind speeds and directions at different locations. Vail Pass:

yes this works well in canada and AK not quite sure how good it is in CO
Good questions.
1) Wind speed and direction.
The NWS (NOAA) point forecast is actually about as good as you can get, easily. For Berthoud Pass:
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...77739715576172
See a graph of the data for the point by clicking "Hourly Weather Graph" near the bottom:

If you want a do it yourself solution, fireweather.info is the best. Make sure to look at the 700mb winds, which are about 10,000ft. The surface wind forecast isn't that bad, either.
We (opensnow.com) have wind speeds in the NWS forecast, which is available on the "NWS Forecast" tab of each area. Example for Berthoud Pass: http://opensnow.com/location/berthoud#forecast
2) Best powder prediction for Colorado on Android is the http://www.opensnow.com mobile website. No app, but the mobile site is super fast and gives you all the info you need (including your dashboard of favorites).
