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.
