Sadly, we never got up to 24″… However the winner is Kayla Cornish as determined by the Pagosa Weather Board.

The greatest snowpack depth that we had at the verification spot, 7 miles northwest of Pagosa in O’Neal Park just off of North Piedra, past the two cattle guards at 8,030 feet elevation, was 12″ at 8:00am on February 15th. Kayla Cornish was the closest with a date of February 14th at 10:00am.

The Pagosa Weather board has made the decision to award Kayla Cornish with the closest guess to the greatest amount of snowpack depth date/time with the $100 gift certificate to Alley House.

Congratulations, Kayla!

Huge “Thanks” to Joni, Martin, Landon, Alisa and the entire team at Alley House for their support and sponsoring this contest!

Arleen & Shawn had 50″ in the backyard by the end of March 2023. Tommy was just walking over the fence. Arleen had to wear snowshoes to get measurements. The Davis Weather sensor was almost buried.

I grew up in Montana where my love of the mountains is rooted. I served in the Air Force, forecasting aviation weather, for 24 years. I had eight assignments and my favorites were Colorado, Alaska, Korea, and Germany. I deployed several times, including to Iraq and Afghanistan. After RV traveling for nine years, Shawn and I found paradise in Pagosa. Here we enjoy playing outside in the spectacular San Juan mountains!
