Happy New Year! 2017 is going to be a great year to get outside and enjoy the mountains. While some zones of the US are still playing catch up, other areas are sitting on a big snowpack. Seems like January might be prime time to go skiing. Where are you going to head to first?
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 January 1, 2017. You can link to the most recent data from the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service here. It’s updated daily throughout the winter.
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 already to plan your next skiing adventure? Enjoy the snow. Be safe out there.
