The Stick of Truth is a snow depth indicator at Grand Targhee Resort in western Wyoming, U.S., first installed in November 2018.
Unlike snow condition data from SNOTEL, the Truth gauge is simple and non-electronic—except for night lighting. It consists of a 18-inch (46 cm) measuring stick (calibrated in inches) on a platform to accumulate snowfall, and a webcam. The platform is cleared of snow and ice daily so that the gauge shows snow depth delivered in the last (up to) 24 hours.[1]
Since its inception, the platform often has few whimsical plastic figurines from a collection of hundreds.[1]
The webcam shows a live view and is available on the resort's Snow Report page,[2] the See Jackson Hole website, as well as on YouTube.[3]
