Who wants to play a water game? What day will be the peak Snow Water Equivalent in the State of Colorado? What will be the peak depth in inches of water? Feel free to convert to centimeters if that is your preference... www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/ftpref/suppo...

A graph showing the aggregate measured snow depth in terms of inches of water or snow water equivalent in Colorado. The left axis is inches and it goes up to about 23 inches. The bottom axis is the date. The peak is typically in April or May but that is changing due to climate change.

Geomorphology is the study of landscape evolution. It is the study of driving forces vs resiting forces. Water and energy are drivers of change. Vegetation is a resistance to change. More heat increases the driving forces of change. Less veg means less resisting forces of change.

We have a saying in the Snow Science and Avalanche Industry, "All Avalanche Experts are Dead". We traveled in hazardous terrain everyday. We studied the science. We check the snow pack. We looked at the Snow Eater Equivalent (SWE). We checked the weather station. We checked the forecast.
