Where these numbers come from

Depth, new snow and snow water equivalent are read from the Nast Lake NRCS station at 8,710 ft, synced every six hours and run through range and spike checks. A station sits at one elevation, so it can disagree with the resort’s own upper-mountain report. How PeakCam reads the sensors.
