Berry Creek Snow Report
Berry Creek at a glance
How the snowpack at Berry Creek looks right now, where the station sits on the map, and its key details.
Berry Creek reports 0.0″ of new snowfall today, raising snowpack levels to 0 inches. Snowpack depth is 0% of normal, which is very low for this time of year. The mountain is perched in Nevada at an elevation of 9,100ft, where the air temperature is about 71°F right now.
Seasonal average snowpack on this calendar day is 3 inches across the station's full record. Below-normal snowpack like this typically translates to a thinner spring runoff downstream and earlier snowmelt -- worth watching for downstream water-supply forecasts.
Over the next 5 days, the snowpack at Berry Creek is expected to hold near today's 0.0 inches of snow-water equivalent, toward roughly 0.0 inches by 2026-07-25.

Berry Creek
Berry Creek, NV is located in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest at an elevation of approximately 8,000 feet in the Ruby Mountains. The average annual snowfall in this area is around 200 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 70-80 inches in late March to early April. Nearby ski resorts include the Ruby Mountains Ski Area and the Elko SnoBowl. Climate trends indicate a warming trend, which may lead to decreased snowpack in the future. This has implications for the hydrology of the area, as downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs rely on snowmelt for their water supply. The Humboldt River, which flows through Elko, is a major recipient of snowmelt from the Ruby Mountains. A reduction in snowpack could lead to decreased streamflows and lower reservoir levels, potentially impacting agriculture, recreation, and other water uses downstream.

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 Berry Creek
Where does the snow data for Berry Creek come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 334. 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.
