| Snow Course sites represent manual surveys taken by trained observers in which the snowpack depth and water equivalent are measured. These observations require a two-person team trekking into designated courses. Measurements are generally taken around the first of the month. The map at right shows the location of the Snow course sites in Alaska, there are over 200 sites throughout the state. For a listing of the locations click here.
