Dry Bread Pond
Dry Bread Pond is located in the Uinta Mountains of Utah and lies at an elevation of 9,300 feet. The area receives an average annual snowfall of approximately 350 inches, which contributes to an average peak snowpack of roughly 120 inches in early April. The nearby ski resorts of Alta, Snowbird, and Brighton benefit from this abundant snowpack, offering world-class skiing opportunities.
There have been some noticeable climate trends in recent years, including a trend towards earlier snowmelt and decreased snowpack overall. This has important implications for downstream hydrology, as the snowpack feeds the streams and reservoirs that provide water for the surrounding communities. The Weber River and its tributaries, including East Canyon Creek and East Canyon Reservoir, are all fed by the snowpack from the Uinta Mountains. As such, it is important to continue monitoring the snowpack in this region to ensure the sustainability of these important water resources.

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 Dry Bread Pond in the Snoflo app

About Dry Bread Pond
Where does the snow data for Dry Bread Pond come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 455. 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.
