Camas Creek Divide
Camas Creek Divide is a mountainous region with an elevation of 8,800 feet located in the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho. The region experiences an average annual snowfall of 350 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 150 inches. This snowpack is crucial for the hydrology of the surrounding area, including the downstream Bitterroot River, Camas Creek, and Painted Rocks Reservoir. The snowpack's persistence is also responsible for nearby ski resorts such as Lost Trail Powder Mountain and Chief Joseph Ski Area. Climate trends in the area have shown a decrease in snowpack and earlier melt, potentially affecting downstream water availability. Overall, Camas Creek Divide is a vital source of snowpack for the surrounding hydrology, with a decreasing snowpack trend that could have significant consequences for downstream water resources.

Mountain & avalanche safety
- Know before you go
- Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any backcountry / side-country travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
- Carry the gear, know how to use it
- Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
- Mind the weather window
- Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry.
- Read the snowpack
- A weak, faceted, or wind-loaded snowpack — like the depth and trend shown above — is exactly what feeds slab avalanches. Dig a pit or check the bulletin before committing to steep terrain.
Track Camas Creek Divide in the Snoflo app

About Camas Creek Divide
Where does the snow data for Camas Creek Divide come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 382. Forecast comes from the NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NRCS SNOTEL stations report continuously (typically hourly). Snoflo refreshes throughout the day; check the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero card.
What's the difference between snowpack depth and SWE?
Snowpack depth measures how tall the snow is. SWE (snow water equivalent) measures how much WATER is in that snow. SWE matters more for hydrology and ski-season prediction since dry powder packs less water than wet/spring snow at the same depth.
How is "% of normal" calculated?
Today's snowpack is compared to the historical average snowpack on this calendar day across the station's full record. 100% = right on average; 130% = a big year; 60% = a thin year.
Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?
Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this station, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment NRCS reports the crossing.
