March 2023 Snowpack Update
It's been an incredible season for the Western United States with nonstop storms starting in November and continuing now into mid-March. Snowfall records are being shattered and powder stoke is at an all-time high.
The map below shows the percent of snowpack compared to the average snowpack for that day. Red is well below average, yellow and green are below to near average, and blue/purple is well above average.
This is based on the weight of the snow on the ground, measured by automated backcountry weather stations called SNOTEL.
