The results of studies of the dependence of the snow load and its security on the altitude above the sea level are presented on the basis of statistical data on the distribution of annual maximums of snow water equivalent obtained at 30 meteorological stations and mountain snow-measuring routes of the Krasnodar region and Adygea. Calculated relations are proposed for determining snow loads with arbitrary periods of one-time exceedance in the flat and mountain zones with altitudes up to 2000 m above sea level.

Keywords: snow load, security, distribution, annual maximums, mean recurrence interval, altitude above sea level
