Timber Creek
Timber Creek, located in the Wind River Range of Wyoming, boasts an average annual snowfall of 300 inches and an average peak snowpack of 150 inches. The elevation of the area ranges from 8,500 to 11,000 feet, with many of the surrounding mountains reaching above 12,000 feet. Nearby ski resorts, such as Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee, benefit from the plentiful snowpack and offer world-class skiing opportunities.
In recent years, Timber Creek has experienced a trend of warmer and drier winters, resulting in decreased snowpack and earlier melting. This has led to concerns about the impact on downstream hydrology constituents, including the Popo Agie River and the Boysen Reservoir. Proper management of the snowpack is crucial for the sustainability of the hydrological system in the 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 Timber Creek
Where does the snow data for Timber Creek come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 819. 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.
