BLOG #44 DETERMINING SNOW DEPTH

While doing some research for this website, I stumbled upon the NOAA OPERATIONAL HYDROLOGIC REMOTE SENSING CENTER.

This NOAA website shows the snow depth of any area you are interested in skiing or hiking at.

I haven’t done a lot of research on this website yet, but it promises to have more additional features to explore.

For backcountry skiers, this website has a great deal of value.
Now we can see the depth of snow at a given area, to make planning much easier and accurate.

If you use this NOAA website this winter in planning a trip, please let me know what features you used and how accurate you found this information.

I can be reached directly at [email protected]

Thank You for reading our local website on places all over our region to play in Nature.
