Jan 2, 2025 Dennis KincaidHi skiers: I hope you had a nice Christmas. I have had inquiries about accessing the SNOTEL website so here is a way to do it. The link is https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/resources/data-and-reports/snow-and-water-interactive-map Go to the SNOTEL Interactive Map, which shows all the SNOTEL sites in the Western US. Zoom in on the area you want and click on a site, Magic Mountain for the south hills, or Howell Canyon for Pomerelle. Click on the 7-day hourly report to get the most recent data on snow depth, temperature, etc. Bookmark the page for easy access.

If you park in the ski area parking, please leave a note on the dash with the trail and expected time out. The Ski Area has gone out on lost skier searches because there was one car left in the parking lot.
If you have questions about skiing or snowshoeing the mountains of South Southern Idaho, send an email to nordicinfo@skihdna.org
