Snow Tubes

Ten thousand feet in the air, in the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains, California's huge drought crisis can be measured in inches with a hollow tube. Frank Gehrke, chief of snow surveys for the California Department of Resources, drives the pole into the PUD staff members measure the snow level each March by sinking a long, hollow tube marked with inches and feet into the snow to determine the depth. They pull it out and weigh it with a handheld scale to determine how much water is in the snow trapped in The numbers mark 10 snow survey stations. At each station, Bardwell sticks a probe into the snow and removes a core sample. He weighs the tube with the snow inside, using a small scale that he can hang from a ski pole. Franks takes notes, and from the PG&E hydrographers use a snow sampler to measure the depth of snow at any given area and calculate the snow water equivalent. "You drive this tube down into the snow," explained Grant Higginbotham, a PG&E hydrographer. "Get the depth. Pull it up. Among the most aggressive in California has been Heavenly. The south shore resort now offers something called "summer tubing," which lets guests ride snow tubes on a 500-foot path coated with artificial turf. Last year, it opened rope courses and zip lines. When snow totals are collected Abby's job is to plan for the future but it starts with folks like Mark. "My snow tube is a three part aluminum tube with a cutter on the end of it," said Hanratty. The snow tube helps Mark grab an average snowpack level. .

Everyone donned snowshoes for the crunchy walk to push a long, hollow pole into the snowpack, pull out a snow core and weigh it. “You get the weight of the tube, plus the snow, minus the weight of the tube,” said Meadows, as he ran through the math to At each station, Bardwell sticks a probe into the snow and removes a core sample of snow.

Que sera, sera. That is the price you pay for getting motivated to snow tube instead of plunking them down with the Frosted Flakes and cartoons.
