Snake River Station
Snake River Station (SRS) is located within the Teton Range of Wyoming at an elevation of approximately 1,800 meters. The region is known for its consistent snowfall, with an average annual snowfall of 12 meters, leading to an average peak snowpack of around 2 meters. The snowpack provides for a range of recreational opportunities, including skiing and snowboarding at the nearby Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee Resort.
However, climate trends over the past decades have shown a decrease in snowpack due to increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns. This has significant implications for the hydrology of the region, as the snowpack plays a crucial role in sustaining downstream rivers and creeks, including the Snake River and Gros Ventre River, as well as reservoirs such as Jackson Lake.
As such, it is important to monitor and maintain the snowpack in the Teton Range to ensure the sustainability of the region's water resources and recreational opportunities.

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 Snake River Station in the Snoflo app

About Snake River Station
Where does the snow data for Snake River Station come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 764. 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.
