Hey! Unsure if this is a thing, but are there any useful sites or apps that can predict the current snow conditions on trails? Specifically looking for info on hikes in the PNW.

You might be able to use the snotel interactive map, it isn't always easy to figure out but can tell you a lot of information if you can get it. Easier to use on a computer. Not relevant if you are looking for trails that would be snow free in winter. Probably.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

I'm a big fan of this one: https://www.mountain-forecast.com/ it does mountains, not trails. Just type the name of the mountain and it will give tons of detail.

Also, my personal favorite 2 day hike in the pnw is Old Snowy mountain in the Goat Rocks Wilderness

(Also a good example to test)

Alltrails has a recent pictures section.

Thanks! Yeah I like that feature, but it's less useful for trails that haven't been hiked in months.
