Mountain snowpack is a crucial source of water for many regions in the US.
The snow that accumulates on the mountains during winter acts as a natural reservoir, slowly releasing water as it melts during spring and summer. Understanding snowpack dynamics is essential for managing water resources sustainably, predicting water availability, and mitigating the risk of floods and droughts. Some notable mountain ranges with significant snowpack include the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, and Cascade Range.
More snow forecasted this week with Bison Lake in Colorado expecting 12" of more snow in the next 72 hours, with chance rain/snow then t-storms likely today. Molas Lake in Colorado is also slated to get up to 8" of more snow in the coming days. Some great powder days on the horizon with Ski Cooper forecasted to receive up to 12.97" of snow in the coming days, and Conquistador Ski Resort expecting up to 6.93" of more snowfall which could bring their snowpack depth up to 7".
