2026 Snowpack thread

The positive! Will be bear hunting three weeks earlier this year for sure! I’ve never had snow levels allowing to get where I need to go this early. I can’t wait!

Hey all, just launched our annual snowpack/precip episode with MT-based hydrologist @Josh Boyd that @Jaden Bales recorded

Thread 'West-Wide Snowpack & Precip Update with Josh Boyd'

Monday at 10:05 AM

@Jaden Bales hosted our own staff writer @Josh Boyd --who's also a professional hydrologist) for today's super important/interesting episode.

Is it as bad as we think? Are there any bright spots? (Not click bait, I haven't listened yet either but I'm gonna!)

This is the 4th year we've done these episodes and I've found Josh is usually pretty dang accurate.

Give it a listen below or wherever you get your podcasts!

I work at 7200 feet in South Eastern Utah, we had to shovel snow one time this year. It was about 4 inches.

We got a little snow in town (1-2"), mountains got 6-8", but it's all disappeared in just day and half up 6000'. We're going to be 10-15° above normal for almost a week, so that will take a good chunk of the high elevation snow w/ it.

Montana is sitting better than most of the states, but not great—most drainages in the 70-80% of normal.
