Mountain snowpack serves as a vital water source for both high-altitude regions and adjacent lowlands, significantly impacting local economies through its influence on tourism, communication, logistics, and recreational risks. However, mid-elevation snow cover is diminishing due to climate change (IPCC-2021), emerging as a critical concern in water management. Despite its importance, a lack of comprehensive understanding stems from a scarcity of well-distributed mountain snowpack observations and specific simulation tools. This knowledge gap is more pronounced in Mediterranean mountainous regions, where intricate processes of growth and ablation, high spatial variability, and a high inter-annual variability pose obstacles for models. To address these challenges, hyper-high resolution models (
