[bootz1981]

what is the best snotel for the snowies to watch

 

[CO 2.0]

French Creek, Sand Lake, Brooklyn Lake

Highest elevation snotels

Agree with 2.0s list - French Creek is the one everyone will usually reference because it gets the most snow for 80-90% of the storms that roll through.

Cinnabar and Brooklyn also worth a look when there is a good upslope storm (2-3 times per year usually), but when that happens the road to the mountain is usually closed. On those days the people "stuck" in Albany have an epic riding day before they even hit trail T.

I found the Sand Lake one to be off by about 2'. I was out there last Feb and it snowed and snowed. Over the hood POW and site said 6" of accumulation.

Don't get me wrong I look at them all daily dreaming of my next trip.
