Does anybody know the best "Physical element" to "Redraw" on their site that would give you the best outlook on snowmobile trail conditions?

Here are the choices from the site:

Snow water equivalant
Snow depth
Shallow SWE?
Shallow snow depth
Snow temperature
Snow density
Snow melt



I usually go by the first one.

I think you have it right. I kind of look at SWE compared to snow depth. If you have a low SWE with more depth, would mean champagne powder and no base. Higher SWE means the snow has settled and is more dense, which would mean a good base for trails. Someone correct me if I'm in the wrong.
