SNOW FARMING!

Take an in-depth look at Timberline's snow-farming program with photos from Mountain Manager, Logan Stewart. Logan took these photos last month. The idea is to use the snowcats to dig these vertical trenches on the surface of the snowpack to help capture and deposit the snow from all incoming storms from the Pacific Ocean to maximize snow depth up on the Palmer Snowfield.

Timberline is currently reporting a 129" base (April 15, 2024), with much more depth on the upper mountain where the Summer training takes place.

 

Below is a Timberline produced video from 2018, that shows the process of their amazing snow-farming process.

Stay healthy out there.
