During the winter season, White Prairie experiences a significant snowpack range due to its high elevation and exposure to heavy precipitation. The mountain's snowpack depth can vary greatly, ranging from several meters to over 5 meters (16 feet) in some areas. This makes it a popular destination for winter mountaineering and backcountry skiing enthusiasts.
White Prairie is also home to several creeks and rivers that receive runoff from the mountain's snowmelt. These include the picturesque Prairie Creek and the nearby White River. These waterways provide a vital source of freshwater for local ecosystems and support diverse wildlife in the region.
