Green Mountain
Green Mountain, located in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada, boasts an impressive elevation of 11,143 feet. This towering peak is part of the Great Basin Range and receives an average annual snowfall of 300 inches. The peak snowpack averages around 90 inches, providing excellent skiing opportunities at nearby ski resorts such as Ruby Mountain Ski Area and nearby Lamoille Canyon. Climate trends in the region show that snowpack levels have been decreasing in recent years due to rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns. This has implications for downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs, which rely on snowmelt for their water supply. The Ruby Mountains are an important source of water for the Humboldt River, which is a crucial component of the local agricultural industry. Therefore, monitoring snowpack in Green Mountain is critical for understanding hydrology patterns and ensuring water security for the region.

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 Green Mountain
Where does the snow data for Green Mountain come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 503. 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.
