Introduction
This “snow report” is intended to provide the backcountry recreational user with a current view of snow, weather and avalanche conditions in many areas in Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Utah. The graphs are produced from data obtained from backcountrydata.com and are augmented with NOAA point forecasts for 3-day snow totals, (note that for all zones presented the 3-day snow forecast was negligible this week). All of the data that this site presents is publicly available. We simply aggregate it and present it in a useful format.
We present this data to assist the user, especially the “weekend warrior” in planning their next outing/adventure. You should always refer to the details found in the Avalanche forecast pages, as well as the NWS forecasts for your specific area. Bottom-line, is that this site/data is not meant to “Replace” any of your current sources of beta for the backcountry, but rather to augment your knowledge arsenal. We fully ascribe to the motto, “Know before you go“!
