Well, we finally have a Snow Cam. You can find it on our website with the other webcams. We spent a lot of time pondering this project. We wanted this cam to be really fun and to give people a qualitative understanding about what the weather is actually doing up here. We decided to avoid a pure "quantitative ruler" stake and came up with a cool image of the iconic "Flaming A" (thank you Master Woodworker Bumpy). The "Flaming A" is 18 inches tall. We looked at a lot of snow stake cams and our favorite was "Gnorm the Powder Gnome" at Revelstoke. We tried to mirror the spirit of that very creative image.
So if you are totally into geeking out about the exact inches of snow compared to other areas, you might be disappointed. On the other hand, if you are trying to get a feel for what is going on here while you are away, recognizing a 4" day a The Basin with the good wind can be like skiing 6" or 8" elsewhere, you might really get a kick out of this. I do hope you enjoy it.
......And it has snowed more than two feet the last couple of days.
