If you've been following OpenSnow throughout the 2018-2019 season, you'll know that this has been a winter to remember. Storms ramped up across the Western US in November and continued to deliver consistent powder days to nearly every region.

The map below shows the percent of snowpack compared to the average snowpack for April 12, 2019. Red is well below-average, yellow and green are below to near average, and blue/purple is well above-average. This is based on the weight of the snow on the ground, measured by automated backcountry weather stations called SNOTEL.

The following Base Depth vs. Average graphs are updated daily on OpenSnow and available to All-Access members for nearly every mountain location in the western US and Canada.
