Snow pack research?

[MT-nuffgun]

first year hunting spring bear. What weather websites does everybody use to check snow depth in mountain ranges?

 

[TagEater]

Check out the snow depth map on caltopo

 

[S.Clancy]

google "Snotel Interactive Map"

 

[Giroguy2000]

I use Gaia maps with their snow depth layer

If you get the CalTopo membership there is weekly updated satellite photos. It’s a bit of a gamble because there can be a lot of cloud cover but nothing will give you a more accurate look.

Yeah. Caltopo is an image every two days pretty much. But cloud cover this time of year is a crapshoot.

It's not their layer...its SNOTEL data

The snotel sites are good for precision spot measurements. This site is just gives a general estimate:

That you can layer over their maps to give you a visual representation of what snow levels might look like. Just like landowner data is layered over OnX

Any idea how much a CalTopo membership costs?

$50 a year I believe
