Are you still earning your turns? There’s still plenty of snow out there if you know where to look. Just this week a few friends of mine found 30 inches of fresh in the Big Sky backcountry.
Snow’s still looking good out there, but the days are getting warmer and the snow line is creeping uphill quickly. Based on the latest SnoTel data, if you’re keen for some skiing head to Colorado which still has over 100% of their average snowpack. Have fun out there and tell us where you’re making your turns in the comments below.
Let’s take a look at the snow data for the western US compared to normal. Below is the Westwide SNOTEL Current Snow Water Equivalent % of Normal as of May 15, 2016. You can link to the most recent data from the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service here. It’s updated regularly.
See how this month compares to past months in our past Snotel posts.
SnoTel data is one of the best ways to find out where the snowpack is deep and the coverage is above average. Are you ready to plan your next skiing adventure?
Enjoy the snow. Be safe out there.
