December Snow Report
The 2024-2025 snow year continues to be developing nicely in the San Juan Mountains. Although the La Niña pattern that was predicted for this year remains weak, the jet stream has established itself across Colorado and, as a consequence, there were a number of good snowfalls in the San Juans during November. Silverton received 10.6” for a yearly total so far of 21.1” (less than the long term average, but the most since the 2019-2020 snow year). The snowpack at the Red Mountain SNOTEL site is currently at 34” (SWE of 7.9”). Basically, a very good start to the snow year; let’s hope the trend continues through December and January.

In the past 25 years, we have awarded a total of 151 scholarships totaling $327,050 in memory of Joel Zucker who passed away in 1998 after completing his third Hardrock Hundred run. Joel was a university librarian who loved running in the San Juan Mountains and we established this scholarship in his memory to support local students who are continuing their education.
Hardrock 100 At a Glance
100-mile run with 33,197 feet of climb and 33,197 feet of descent for a total elevation change of 66,394 feet with an average elevation of 11,186 feet - low point 7,680 feet (Ouray) and high point 14,048 feet (Handies Peak).
We acknowledge the land the Hardrock 100 traverses is the ancestral homeland of the Ute, Puebloan and Diné people. Information about this land is often told from dominant perspectives, without full recognition of the original land stewards. We invite others to join us in this acknowledgment to heal, renew and reaffirm the First Nations’ history and continued presence in Colorado and pay tribute to these traditional homelands and its people.
All or part of this operation is conducted on Public Lands under special permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service.
