Grave Springs
Grave Springs, WY is located in the Wind River Range at an elevation of 9,000 feet. The average annual snowfall in this area is around 200 inches, leading to an average peak snowpack depth of around 60 inches. The nearby ski resorts of White Pine Ski Area and Pinedale Ski Area benefit greatly from this snowpack, offering ample opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts.
Climate trends in this region have shown a slight increase in temperature over the past few decades, leading to earlier melting of the snowpack and increased risk of avalanches. The hydrology of this region is heavily influenced by the snowpack, as it feeds important downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs such as the Green River and Fremont Lake. It is crucial to carefully monitor and manage the snowpack in this area to ensure the health and sustainability of these vital water sources.

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 Grave Springs
Where does the snow data for Grave Springs come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 501. 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.
