National Weather Service point forecast. Snow amounts are keyword estimates from the forecast text, not a quantitative precipitation forecast.
Depth, new snow and snow water equivalent are read from the Bison Lake NRCS station at 10,950 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.
