Seine Creek
Seine Creek, located in the Coastal Range mountains of British Columbia, boasts an average elevation of 1,500 meters and receives an average annual snowfall of 11 meters. Its peak snowpack usually occurs in mid-April and averages around 3.5 meters. The nearby ski resorts of Whistler and Blackcomb benefit from the abundant snowpack, with over 8,200 hectares of skiable terrain available.
As for climate trends, the region has seen an increase in winter precipitation and a decrease in snowpack over the past few decades. This has implications for downstream hydrology constituents, including the Cheakamus River that is fed by Seine Creek. The Cheakamus River is a significant source of freshwater for the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia and provides critical habitat for numerous fish species.
Overall, the snowpack in Seine Creek plays a vital role in both local recreation and downstream hydrology constituents, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and management efforts in 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 Seine Creek
Where does the snow data for Seine Creek come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 743. 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.
