Summary
Montana's snowpack conditions vary across its diverse mountain ranges. The Rocky Mountains in the western part of the state receive the most snowfall, contributing to vital water sources and watersheds. The Crown of the Continent, encompassing the Glacier National Park, receives heavy snowfall and feeds into the Missouri River, while the Bitterroot Range is crucial for the Clark Fork and Bitterroot Rivers. The Bridger Range, Big Belt Mountains, and the Little Belt Mountains also contribute to the watersheds. Montana experiences a continental climate, with cold winters and abundant snowfall. Interesting snow science and history in Montana include the discovery of Ice Age snowshoes near Yellowstone National Park and advancements in snow water equivalent measurement techniques. It is important to verify snowpack conditions with up-to-date data from sources like the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Montana Snowpack Summary.
