Currant Creek
Currant Creek is situated in the Uinta Mountains of Utah, at an elevation of 8,000 feet. The snowpack in this region is heavily influenced by the Pacific Northwest storm track, which brings significant moisture to the area. The average annual snowfall in the Uinta Mountains is approximately 500 inches, with an average peak snowpack of 80 inches. The snowpack in this region is critical for downstream hydrology, including the Provo River and the Strawberry Reservoir, which provide water for agricultural and municipal uses. The area is also home to several ski resorts, including Park City, Deer Valley, and Solitude, which are heavily reliant on the snowpack for their operations. Climate trends in the region indicate an overall decrease in snowpack and water availability, which may have significant impacts on downstream ecosystems and human populations. Overall, the snowpack in Currant Creek plays an essential role in water management and recreation for the surrounding 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 Currant Creek in the Snoflo app

About Currant Creek
Where does the snow data for Currant Creek come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 432. 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.
