How this service works
Snowpack near a western U.S. or Alaska location (SNOTEL) - snow water equivalent, depth and percent of median
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'found' boolean, retrieval timestamp, and an array of nearby SNOTEL stations. Each station entry includes the station name, triplet ID, state, elevation in feet, distance in km, observation date, snow water equivalent (inches), snow depth (inches), percent of median snowpack, air temperature in Fahrenheit, and a URL to the station page. Also includes units, data source attribution, and contextual notes about data availability or coverage limits.
Example use cases
Backcountry ski trip snow check
“I'm heading into the backcountry near Jackson Hole this weekend — can you pull the latest SNOTEL snowpack data for that area, coordinates 43.48 N, 110.76 W? I want to know snow depth, water equivalent, and whether we're above or below normal.”
Watershed water supply monitoring
“Can you check the current snow water equivalent near the headwaters of the Colorado River around 40.25 N, 105.85 W? We're tracking how much water supply to expect from snowmelt this spring.”
Ski resort opening conditions research
“What's the snowpack situation near Mammoth Mountain right now? Coordinates are about 37.63 N, 119.03 W — I need snow depth and the percent of median so I can see if conditions are good for the season.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/snow/snowpack?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official USDA NRCS SNOTEL snowpack observations for a specific geographic location in the western United States or Alaska, particularly when snow water equivalent, snow depth, or percent-of-median comparisons are needed. It is well-suited for hydrology, water supply forecasting, backcountry recreation planning, and ski condition checks. Prefer this over general weather APIs when snowpack metrics (not just snow accumulation forecasts) are the primary need, and over manual NRCS portal lookups when automated/programmatic access is required.
Side effects
- No SNOTEL station found within range — returned with found:false and count:0 when coordinates are outside western US/Alaska coverage area
- Coordinates outside supported region (eastern US, non-US locations) return no matching stations
- Station data may be missing or null for off-season periods when stations are not reporting
- Invalid or missing lat/lon query parameters return a 400-level error
- Network or upstream NRCS data feed unavailability may produce errors or stale data
