Beagle Springs
Beagle Springs, MT is located in the Northern Rocky Mountains with an elevation of 6,500 feet. The area receives an average annual snowfall of 300 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 200 inches. The Bridger Range, which includes ski resorts Bridger Bowl and Bohart Ranch, surrounds the area.
Climate trends in the region indicate a warming trend, resulting in a decrease in snowpack and earlier snowmelt. This has implications for downstream hydrology, notably the Gallatin River, which serves as a critical water source for agriculture and communities.
Beagle Springs snowpack is an essential source of water for the area’s downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs, including Hyalite Reservoir and Sourdough Creek. As the snowpack melts, it contributes to streamflow and supports aquatic ecosystems.
Overall, the snowpack in Beagle Springs is crucial for regional hydrology and supports recreational activities in nearby ski resorts. Climate change poses a significant threat to this system, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and management.

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.

About Beagle Springs
Where does the snow data for Beagle Springs come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 318. 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.
