What's in Snow DB

Everything You Need
for Backcountry Planning

Snow DB aggregates federal and provincial snow telemetry data into a single interactive dashboard so you can compare stations, track trends, and make smarter go/no-go decisions.

📊
Snow Water Equivalent

Track SWE as a percent of average — the single most important snowpack metric for understanding if the season is above or below normal.

📏
Snow Depth

Current and historical snow depth at every SNOTEL station with elevation-adjusted interpolation for areas between stations.

🌡️
Station Temperature

Air temperature at each station helps you understand snow settlement, surface conditions, and freeze-thaw cycles.

🌨️
7-Day NWS Forecasts

Point forecasts for every SNOTEL station sourced directly from the National Weather Service — not a generic regional forecast.

🗺️
Interactive Map

Pan and zoom across the Western US & Canada to see station conditions spatially. Color-coded depth and SWE percentages at a glance.

🇨🇦
British Columbia Stations

Over 100 BC Ministry of Environment snow stations covering the Kootenays, Columbia Mountains, and South Coast ranges.
