Hole-In-Rock
Hole in the Rock, UT is situated in the rugged terrain of the La Sal Mountains, with an average elevation of 11,000 feet. The region enjoys a healthy annual snowfall of approximately 350 inches, with an average peak snowpack of around 90 inches. The area is home to several ski resorts, including La Sal Mountain Resort and Powder Mountain. Climate trends in recent years have been influenced by the warming of the planet, leading to decreased snow accumulation and earlier snowmelt. As a result, it is increasingly important to monitor the snowpack and its constituents, as they directly influence downstream hydrology. Hole in the Rock is a critical source of water for several downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs, including the Colorado River, which serves as a major water source for much of the western United States. Therefore, it is crucial to manage and maintain the snowpack in the region to ensure a stable water supply for all downstream water users.

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 Hole-In-Rock
Where does the snow data for Hole-In-Rock come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 528. 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.
