Snotel Sites
You can view current and past snow condition data through NRCS and NOAA. Both display the same data but in a little different format, one or the other may be easier to view depending on your device so check out both options. The buttons provide links to interactive maps and then there are lists of specific sites. For current Idaho basin conditions, click here.
NRCS Snotel Sites
For current and past snow depth, snow water equivalents, air temperatures and more, visit the NRCS Snotel Interactive Map via the button below. The Snotel sites are indicated by colored dots. Hover over a dot for the current snow depth. Click the dot for more information and then click “Data Reports” for a list of more detailed reports or the site page. The interactive map has many control options so be sure to check it out on a full sized computer for the easiest experience. For help with the interactive map and saving settings, click here.
