East Rim Divide
The East Rim Divide in Wyoming is a mountainous region known for its significant snowpack. With an elevation ranging from 8,000 to 13,000 feet, the area is primarily composed of the Gros Ventre, Teton, and Wind River ranges. The average annual snowfall in the region is around 400 inches, with an average peak snowpack of approximately 120 inches. The snowpack in the East Rim Divide is critical for the nearby ski resorts of Jackson Hole, Snow King, and Grand Targhee, all of which rely on the consistent snow coverage to attract skiers and snowboarders every year. Climate trends show that the region's snowpack is likely to be affected by global warming, leading to reduced snow accumulation and earlier snowmelt. The East Rim Divide snowpack is also important for the hydrology of the region, with downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs relying on the snowmelt for their water supply.

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 East Rim Divide in the Snoflo app
Save this station as a favorite, set push alerts when snowfall crosses a threshold (e.g. "alert me when East Rim Divide reports 6″ new"), and Snoflo's iOS app will push the moment the SNOTEL station crosses.
About East Rim Divide
Where does the snow data for East Rim Divide come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 460. 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.
