Snowpack Prediction Contest
A unique educational activity developed by Winter Wildlands Alliance, the Snowpack Prediction Contest is designed to follow-up the SnowSchool field trip and utilizes local snow/weather stations to engage students and teachers once they are back in their classroom. Participating in the Snowpack Prediction Contest is simple, fun and transforms learning at SnowSchool from a one day outing into a winter-long science exploration!
