2023 Snow Update & River Predictions

No signs of an early spring in sight yet… so don’t put those skis away.

Here’s an update given at the Idaho Whitewater Association March 1 meeting. We start where we left off last March because 2022 set the stage for this 3rd consecutive La Nina winter. Included is current snowpack and similar (ocean condition analog) years for this winter. Most analog years had a delayed melt like 2022. Keep your eye on the sky as we watch to see what March brings and when warmer temperatures arrive. For now, cold is good to keep the snow in place and allow the mountainous snowpack to keep accumulating.
