Annotation With the intensive industrial development of South Yakutia, in particular the Elkon mountain range, the natural environment is experiencing an enormous anthropogenic load. To assess the state of the natural environment, it is important to obtain information about its background state before the start of an intensive technogenic impact. Snow cover seems to be the optimal indicator of chemical pollution of atmospheric air and atmospheric precipitation, as it is one of the significant natural factors that form natural conditions. To take effective preventive measures to eliminate severe consequences, reliable data on the characteristics and conditions of snow cover formation are required. The object of research is the Elkon mountain range, located in the northern part of the Aldan-Stanovoy Upland. The subject is the peculiarities of the formation of snow cover in this region. The purpose of the study is to determine the main meteorological parameters and physical characteristics that affect the conditions for the formation of snow cover. A set of methods was used in the study, including snow survey and routine observations of snow parameters in key areas. As a result of the study, new data were obtained on the regional features of the formation of snow cover. The practical focus of the study is to improve the reliability of engineering-geological and geocryological mapping and forecasting environmental changes
