About
Where it all begins.
Updated: July 28, 2024
The Pacific Crest Trail snow report is designed to aid hikers in determining the best time to head into the mountains based on snow conditions. Each hikers skill-set and comfort level with these conditions will differ. The Pacific Crest Trail snow report uses SNODAS modeled snow data. SNODAS gives us a good idea about the quantity of frozen water sitting on the ground, denoted by SWE (Snow Water Equivalence) in inches.
Snow page updates November 1st - July 28th
Trail snow is not snow pack. The Postholer snow page focuses on snow on or near the trail, at trail elevation, not on snow condtions thousands of feet lower/higher and miles away from the trail. Ski resort snow reports and snow pack charts are a very poor representation of trail snow conditions.
California
Sierra Entry Indicator (SEI)
Sierra Entry Indicator - The SEI is to help you determine what snow conditions are like in the heart of the sierra. This looks at hundreds of locations in the southern sierra, 163 miles, and gets the percent of average snow conditions. The SEI updates between Nov 1st and June 16th, so long as the historical SWE for the date is > 3". Last Update: April 01, 2024. Trail snow, not snow pack, is 112% of average for this date.
