Ben Lomond Trail
Ben Lomond Trail is located in the Wasatch Range in Utah at an elevation of 9,712 ft. The area receives an average annual snowfall of 400 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 100 inches in March. Nearby ski resorts including Powder Mountain, Snowbasin, and Nordic Valley benefit from this abundant snowpack. However, climate change has caused a decline in snowpack levels over the past few decades, leading to a decrease in downstream water supply for the Ogden and Weber Rivers, as well as Pineview Reservoir. Hydrology constituents such as the Ogden River provide important water resources for the surrounding communities and agriculture, making the preservation of the snowpack vital for the area's 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 Ben Lomond Trail
Where does the snow data for Ben Lomond Trail come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 333. 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.
