Corral Pass
Corral Pass, located in the Cascade Range of Washington State, has an elevation of 4,610 feet and receives an average annual snowfall of 457 inches. The average peak snowpack is around 95 inches. Nearby ski resorts include Crystal Mountain and Summit at Snoqualmie. Climate trends suggest that snowpack in the region is decreasing due to warming temperatures. This has significant implications for downstream hydrology, where the snowpack serves as a vital source of water for rivers, creeks, and reservoirs. The White River and Greenwater River flow through the surrounding valleys, providing water for both wildlife and humans. The decrease in snowpack may lead to lower flow rates in these rivers, potentially impacting the health of ecosystems downstream. Overall, Corral Pass serves as an important indicator of the health and sustainability of the surrounding environment.

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 Corral Pass
Where does the snow data for Corral Pass come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 418. 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.
