Abstract

Mr. Chairman, and fellow members of the Western Interstate Snow‐Survey Conference: It is a source of great pleasure to all of us Sacramento snow‐surveyors that this year's meeting is being held in Sacramento. This city itself has always been more or less snow conscious because of the American River Watershed in our own backyard and the recurring high water in the rivers at our doorstep.The State Engineer's office here cooperated with Dr. Church on his early work as far back as 1917. Our present program extends back ten years, beginning in 1929 when under my direction, Harlowe Stafford, assisted by Spencer Munson, laid out a network of snow‐courses embracing the Sierra. Fred Paget has been looking after the details for the past five years, taking up where Harlowe left off.
