Wolverine
Wolverine, WY is nestled in the rugged peaks of the Teton Range, with elevations ranging from 6,000 to 13,775 feet. The town receives an average annual snowfall of 300 inches, with peak snowpack typically reaching 120 inches in February. The nearby ski resorts of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee Resort take advantage of this abundant snowpack, offering world-class skiing and snowboarding.
In recent years, there has been a shift towards warmer temperatures and more variable precipitation patterns in the region, which may ultimately impact the snowpack and hydrology of the area. The snowpack is a crucial source of water for downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs, including the Snake River and Palisades Reservoir. As such, careful monitoring and management of the snowpack is necessary to ensure a sustainable water supply for both human and natural systems.

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 Wolverine
Where does the snow data for Wolverine come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 875. 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.
