Snow shoeing in the park is great!
❄️Park scientists completed the first snow surveys of 2021 in the Olympic Mountains and report that the snow pack is at 116% of normal. We have also received 20" of snow at Hurricane Ridge since the surveys were completed. The Climate Prediction Center continues to forecast La Nina conditions into March, which gives us a higher probability of cooler and wetter than normal conditions. Typically, the Olympic mountain snowpack reaches it maximum in early April, so stay tuned for an update!
