Spring Creek Divide
Spring Creek Divide, located in the Wind River Range in Wyoming, experiences an annual average snowfall of 250 inches. The average peak snowpack is around 90 inches, with a maximum recorded snow depth of 137 inches. The area is home to popular ski resorts, such as Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Snow King Resort, and Grand Targhee Resort. Spring Creek feeds downstream rivers and reservoirs, such as the Green River and Fontenelle Reservoir, which supply water for irrigation, industry, and recreation. Climate trends in the area indicate a warming trend, with a decrease in snowpack and earlier snowmelt in recent years. This has led to concerns about the impact on local ecosystems and water resources, as well as the socioeconomic implications for the ski industry and recreational activities. The hydrology constituents, including the downstream rivers and reservoirs, are closely monitored to ensure sustainable water management practices.

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 Spring Creek Divide
Where does the snow data for Spring Creek Divide come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 779. 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.
