Peavine Ridge
Peavine Ridge is located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, with an elevation of 8,266 feet. The area receives an average annual snowfall of 200 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 60 inches. Nearby ski resorts include Mt. Rose and Northstar California. Climate trends in the region indicate that snowpack is decreasing due to warming temperatures, which has implications for downstream hydrology constituents such as the Truckee River and its associated reservoirs. These water sources are critical for agriculture and municipal water supply in the region. Therefore, continued monitoring and management of the snowpack is essential to ensure the sustained health of the region's ecosystems and 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 Peavine Ridge in the Snoflo app
Save this station as a favorite, set push alerts when snowfall crosses a threshold (e.g. "alert me when Peavine Ridge reports 6″ new"), and Snoflo's iOS app will push the moment the SNOTEL station crosses.
About Peavine Ridge
Where does the snow data for Peavine Ridge come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 687. 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.
