Eilertson Meadows
Eilertson Meadows is located in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range of California with an elevation of approximately 8,500 feet. The area receives an average annual snowfall of 300-400 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 8-12 feet. The nearby ski resorts, including Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain, benefit from this substantial snowpack, attracting winter sports enthusiasts from around the world.
Climate trends in the area indicate a decrease in snowpack accumulation in recent years, likely due to a combination of rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns. This has significant implications for downstream hydrology constituents, including the Mammoth Creek and Owens River, as well as the Crowley Lake reservoir, which relies on snowmelt for its water supply.
Overall, the snowpack in Eilertson Meadows is a critical resource for the local economy and ecosystem, and ongoing monitoring and management will be essential to ensuring its long-term sustainability.

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 Eilertson Meadows
Where does the snow data for Eilertson Meadows come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 464. 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.
