Climate trends in the area indicate a gradual increase in temperatures and a decrease in snowpack over the past few decades.
The hydrology of Beaver Divide is crucial to downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs. The snowpack acts as a natural storage system, releasing water slowly into the watershed during the warmer months. This process ensures a consistent flow of water to support aquatic life, agriculture, and recreational activities. The nearby American Fork River and Pinecrest Creek rely on the snowpack from Beaver Divide to sustain their ecosystems.
Understanding the snowpack in Beaver Divide is vital for local communities and the surrounding environment. With the increasing threat of climate change, it is essential to monitor and protect the delicate balance of the snowpack and its impact on the hydrology of the area.

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 Beaver Divide
Where does the snow data for Beaver Divide come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 330. 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.
