Join the MSI team in installing a snowtography site on Red Mountain Pass. This is an exciting addition to the Colorado snowtography network that MSI took over in its entirety this summer. Snowtography sites allow us to answer more detailed questions about how snow accumulates and disappears in different types forested areas, and in turn, make decisions about how to manage our forests with snow and water resources in mind.

Each day, folks will meet at the turnoff for Black Bear Pass on the Silverton side at 8am (use this map as it is more accurate than the map). The day lasts until 4pm. Come for one or all of the days for as much time as you can, but please meet in the morning as the site takes some hiking to get to. There will be hard physical work to be done including driving in t-posts and extensive digging. Bring gloves, good footwear and and rock bars and picks if you have them. Prepare for the changing weather of Colorado. Reach out to alex@mountainstudies.org with questions and to sign up.
