Tizer Basin
Tizer Basin, MT is located in the Bridger Mountain Range at a high elevation of 8,000-10,000 feet. The area receives an average annual snowfall of 250 inches, leading to an average peak snowpack of 125 inches. This snowpack is critical for the nearby ski resorts such as Bridger Bowl and Bohart Ranch, which rely heavily on snow for their winter season.
Climate trends in Tizer Basin have shown an increase in winter precipitation but also a decrease in snowpack duration. These changes have had a significant impact on downstream hydrology constituents such as the Bridger Creek and Reservoir, which rely on the snowpack to provide water throughout the year.
In summary, Tizer Basin's high elevation and location in the Bridger Mountain Range lead to significant snowfall and peak snowpack. Ski resorts in the area depend on this snowpack for their winter season, and downstream hydrology constituents rely on it for water supply. As climate trends continue to change, managing and monitoring the snowpack in Tizer Basin will become increasingly important for the surrounding communities.

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 Tizer Basin in the Snoflo app

About Tizer Basin
Where does the snow data for Tizer Basin come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 893. 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.
