Proust Goes Tech With Andrew Murray, Founder of OpenSnow

Andrew Murray, as a founder of OpenSnow and one of its meteorologists, has foregone reading the weather for the masses. Instead, his company reports on up-to-the-hour snow conditions on some of the nation’s most popular ski slopes—helping skiers and snowboarders determine the best times to race down the mountain.
