Algae that impart a red color to snowfields are rather common in California. Red snow occurs mainly in the Sierra Nevada at altitudes of 10,000–12,000 ft (3050–3600 in) and can occur at high altitudes where snow persists in other parts of the state. The distribution in the Sierra was similar in 1969 and 1970, contrasting snowfall years. Colored snow was found from May to October in old, wet snow‐fields. The predominant color was red and occurred as surface patches in depressions in the snow. The color could extend as deep as 30 cm below the snow surface.
