Bourne
Bourne boasts a diverse snowpack with a wide range of elevations and terrain. The Sierra Nevada mountain range dominates the region and provides ample opportunity for winter sports enthusiasts. The average annual snowfall is around 200 inches, with peak snowpack typically occurring in early April. Skiers and snowboarders can take advantage of nearby resorts such as Heavenly and Kirkwood, both of which offer extensive terrain and breathtaking views. Climate trends indicate a warming trend that may impact snowpack levels in the future. However, the area's hydrology constituents, including the Carson and Truckee Rivers and various reservoirs, are well-managed and able to handle fluctuations in snowpack levels. Overall, Bourne's snowpack is a crucial component of the region's ecology and economy, attracting tourists and providing vital water resources for downstream 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.

About Bourne
Where does the snow data for Bourne come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 361. 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.
