Rare Tasmanian tree frog snow crystal found in Roc Rare Tasmanian tree frog snow crystal found in Rockies. The polar jet recently dipped so far south that random species including wallabies, Tasmanian devils, and even leapin’ lagomorphs have made the hemispheric jump. More proof that climate change isn’t just a hoax.
Another Christmas crystal. The black dots look lik Another Christmas crystal. The black dots look like rime droplets, but they are actually very small surface hoar nodules that are sublimating under late-morning conditions.

2020 has been a year of variability and extremes. 2020 has been a year of variability and extremes. Fire, drought, floods and hurricanes have pounded the planet.
This year we have seen new records in sustained, summer daily high temperatures, millions of acres burned by wildfire, and persistent drought. 
Our winters are changing too. Shorter snow season durations, increased rain-on-snow events, and earlier onset of snowmelt are all undeniable signals of climate change.
 There are clear choices between candidates regarding sound climate action in local, state and national elections. If a candidate is unclear about their climate program, they are clearly not a climate action candidate. Please consider this critical issue in your voting choices.
Snowmetrics stands with Black communities with out Snowmetrics stands with Black communities with outrage and sadness. 
Black Lives Matter. 
We are a small family owned business, and we acknowledge that our success in this industry is tied to the enslavement of Black people, and the genocide of Native people in this country. Below are some of the things we are learning and doing in response to the crisis of police brutality and racism in this country. We want to express our gratitude to creative educators on social media platforms who are creating and circulating resources to help us be better and do better. 
What is snowmetrics doing? 
To take a first step towards reparations for Black americans, 5% of annual profits will go to fund Black Lives Matter, bail funds, and educational resources for Black students. 
While we already advocate for and support educational programs through donating materials to classrooms, going forward, we will prioritize programs that are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) led and/or with clear goals aimed at increasing access and support for BIPOC in the snowy outdoors.
We have learned from the work of BIPOC that snow education does not only include snow, it must also include anti-racism. Going forward, our instagram will amplify the teachings of BIPOC educators and we will do our part to boost anti-racist educators in their holistic approach to science education. 
If you are an outdoor industry company following us, get on board! We call to action and join other outdoor industry companies to do better, listen, challenge marketing and business decisions in order to advocate for more opportunities for individuals that may not have the means to play in the snow or take an avalanche course. 
We’re calling on other outdoor industry companies to imagine with us and with the countless who have come before us: what does a just and anti-racist outdoors look like?

Snowpackology and geology have so many interesting Snowpackology and geology have so many interesting parallels. These pictures show processes of deposition, erosion, metamorphism, and tectonics. These operate on times scales from seconds to millions of years and spatial scales from molecules to mountain ranges. The time frame is compressed in seasonal snowpacks, which is one of the reasons they are so interesting and dangerous. This 30,000’ view from an airplane isn’t that different than standing back and looking at a snowpit wall.

FAQ

Can I measure snow density using a snowmetrics snowboard SWE sampler?

This is very simple to do.  If you measure depth (D) in cm and SWE in mm, just change depth units to mm, and divide SWE by D.  This gives mean layer density.
