Submit an Observation

Use the form below to submit your snowpack, avalanche, and weather observations. This form is optimized for mobile devices to make it easier to upload photos from your mobile phone as part of your observations.

Visit our information page about making observations to learn more about providing useful information for the community.

Once it is submitted, your observation will be posted for the public to view on the observations page.
