Hozomeen Camp
Hozomeen Camp, located in the North Cascades mountain range of Washington state, boasts an elevation of 4,900 feet and an average annual snowfall of 200 inches. The average peak snowpack reaches 10 feet, providing ample opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts at nearby ski resorts such as Manning Park Resort and Mount Baker Ski Area. Climate trends in the area show a gradual warming trend, resulting in decreased snow accumulation at lower elevations.
The snowpack in this area plays a crucial role in the hydrology of downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs. The Skagit River, a major river in the region, relies heavily on snowmelt from the North Cascades for its flow. The snowpack also acts as a natural reservoir, slowly releasing water during spring and summer months, providing a consistent source of water for irrigation, fisheries, and domestic use downstream.
Overall, the snowpack at Hozomeen Camp is an important component of the region's ecological and economic systems, and monitoring its fluctuations is vital to understanding and managing the area's 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 Hozomeen Camp in the Snoflo app

About Hozomeen Camp
Where does the snow data for Hozomeen Camp come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 991. 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.
