Abstract	An outline is presented for developing a winter sports reporting service by the Weather Bureau. Snow conditions are to be gathered from seven districts, assembled and reported by radio, telegraph, and news papers throughout the Northeast states. Outlets will also be from the District Weather Bureau offices as indicated on the location map. A check list reporting form is shown and a revised nomenclature of snow conditions with a coding procedure for economy in telegrams and teletype messages. Samples of summary snow sports bulletins together with weather forecasts for the area involved are illustrated and shown.Discussion by several authorities of the Western states is included.
