Canyon Snow Report
Canyon at a glance
How the snowpack at Canyon looks right now, where the station sits on the map, and its key details.
Canyon reports 0.0″ of new snowfall today, raising snowpack levels to 0 inches. Snowpack depth is 0% of normal, which is very low for this time of year. The mountain is perched in Wyoming at an elevation of 7,870ft, where the air temperature is about 80°F right now.
Seasonal average snowpack on this calendar day is 1 inches across the station's full record. Below-normal snowpack like this typically translates to a thinner spring runoff downstream and earlier snowmelt -- worth watching for downstream water-supply forecasts.
Over the next 5 days, the snowpack at Canyon is expected to hold near today's 0.0 inches of snow-water equivalent, toward roughly 0.0 inches by 2026-07-26.

Canyon
Canyon, WY is situated in the Teton Range at an elevation of approximately 6,700 feet. The Teton Range is known for its high elevations and steep terrain, which result in ample snowfall. The average annual snowfall in the Teton Range is around 500 inches, with the peak snowpack typically occurring in mid-to-late April, averaging around 150 inches. Nearby ski resorts such as Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee Resort benefit from the abundant snowfall and offer world-class skiing and snowboarding experiences. Climate trends in the Teton Range show an increasing trend in temperatures and a decrease in snowpack over the past several decades, which has implications for downstream water resources. The Snake River, which flows through Canyon, is a critical hydrological feature that provides water for irrigation, recreation, and wildlife habitat, and is largely fed by snowmelt from the Teton Range. The diminished snowpack and potential changes in timing of snowmelt could impact downstream water resources, including the Snake River and nearby reservoirs.

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 Canyon
Where does the snow data for Canyon come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 384. 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.
