* The snow pack density (water equivalent in inches divided by snowpack depth in inches) is based on measurements obtained from sources listed above. A snowpack with densities above 0.33 is considered "ripe". A ripe snowpack no longer has the ability to absorb rainfall and would tend to release water during a rain event.
