Casper Mtn.
Casper Mountain, located in the Laramie Range of the Rocky Mountains, has an elevation of 8,130 feet and experiences an average annual snowfall of 120 inches. The mountain boasts an average peak snowpack of 30 inches, which can persist into late March. Nearby ski resorts, such as Hogadon Ski Area and Snowy Range Ski Area, rely heavily on the snowpack of Casper Mountain to provide quality skiing and snowboarding experiences for visitors.
However, climate trends in the region have shown a decrease in snowpack and earlier snowmelt, leading to concerns for downstream hydrology constituents such as the North Platte River, which supplies water to several communities and reservoirs in the region. The snowpack is vital for maintaining streamflow and ensuring water availability for both human and ecological needs.
Efforts to monitor and predict snowpack levels on Casper Mountain are ongoing, with the Wyoming State Climate Office providing regular updates and forecasts. It is essential to continue monitoring the snowpack to ensure the health and sustainability of downstream hydrology constituents and the communities that depend on them.

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 Casper Mtn. in the Snoflo app
Save this station as a favorite, set push alerts when snowfall crosses a threshold (e.g. "alert me when Casper Mtn. reports 6″ new"), and Snoflo's iOS app will push the moment the SNOTEL station crosses.
About Casper Mtn.
Where does the snow data for Casper Mtn. come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 389. 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.
