The study results of the snow load values’ high-altitude dynamics, the snow cover weight value and its change with height for the designed objects of all-season tourist and recreational complex “Elbrus” at the altitudes from 2000 m to 3840.6 m are presented. Monthly measurements of the snow cover height have been carried out at various heights for this purpose. Based on the results of the snow cover height and density obtained values, a linear regression model of water content dependence in the snow cover on the height above sea level has been built. The main calculation method for finding the linear equation coefficients is the least squares technique. The calculated values of the snow cover weight on 1 m2 earth surface of different coverage have been obtained. Its value at an altitude of 3500 m above sea level is 10,42 kPa at 2% coverage and 11.16 kPa at 1% coverage.
