Parker Peak
Parker Peak, located in the Wind River Range in Wyoming, stands at an elevation of 12,928 feet, making it a popular destination for backcountry skiers and snowboarders. The average annual snowfall in this region is around 300 inches, and the average peak snowpack reaches up to 150 inches. The nearby ski resorts that are popular among winter-sport enthusiasts are Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee. Climate trends suggest that the snowpack is likely to decrease due to warming temperatures, which could impact downstream hydrology constituents such as the Green River, which originates from the Wind River Range. The snowmelt from this range feeds many creeks and reservoirs in the region, including Fontenelle Reservoir, which is an important source of irrigation water for agriculture. Therefore, the consistent and healthy snowpack on Parker Peak plays a vital role in maintaining the hydrology of this region.

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 Parker Peak
Where does the snow data for Parker Peak come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 683. 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.
