Dupuyer Creek
Located in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, the Dupuyer Creek watershed boasts a diverse range of elevations, from the high peaks of the Continental Divide to the lower rolling hills of the prairie. This range contributes to an average annual snowfall of 180 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 70 inches. The area is home to several ski resorts, including Whitefish Mountain Resort and Blacktail Mountain Ski Area, which rely heavily on the consistent snowpack for their operations. In recent years, the region has experienced warming temperatures and decreased snowpack, which has the potential to impact downstream hydrology constituents such as the Missouri River, which Dupuyer Creek feeds into. It is important to monitor the snowpack in this region closely to understand the potential impacts on both the local ecology and the broader regional hydrology.

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 Dupuyer Creek in the Snoflo app

About Dupuyer Creek
Where does the snow data for Dupuyer Creek come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 458. 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.
