The snow conditions are great for snow play.  The problem is the amount of people that come up on weekends to ski, snowboard and play in the snow.  Last weekend people waited in traffic up to 3 hours.  So if you must come on the weekends then make sure you are in town by 8:00-8:30am and if not by then after 1pm the traffic usually lighten up. 

The snow conditions are great now and for the foreseeable future.  There is about 3 feet of snow in the snow play areas.  The only problem is the traffic on the weekends.  So if  it is possible for you to come up on the weekdays, you will have the area to yourself. To encourage you to come up during the week, here at MOUNTAIN HARDWARE we will give you a 15% discount on any snow play related items including Adventure Passes on weekdays only.  Just mention this post at the register to receive this discount.  But if you must come up on the weekends make sure you are into town by 8:30 am or wait until after 1 pm to help minimize the traffic problem.

Always make sure you carry chains that fit your car and that you know how to install them. Only play in the snow on Public lands, ( stop to see us at Mountain Hardware and we can provide you with a map and info where the best conditions are currently). Please respect private property and do not play there. You will also need an Adventure Pass $5.00 per day or $30.00 for a year we can supply that for you. Please remember to always pick up and take home any trash as this will make it nicer for the next visitor.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at Mountain Hardware Mon – Sat 8:30am-5:30pm and Sunday 8:30am-4:30pm. We are located at 1390 Hwy #2 in Wrightwood on the north side of the highway and have a large parking area and restrooms

I hope you enjoy your vist to Wrightwood and come back and see us in the summer.
