Today will be a GREAT day

All main roads to Wrightwood are open today yahoo.

Lots of new snow 16-24″ in the snow play areas

NO chain required lots of new snow.

So get going early as the only problem I see today is that everybody will want to come play in the snow.  Do not forget Monday is also a holiday for a lot of people.  So if you sleep in today make a plan to get here in Wrightwood by 9 am on Monday and you will missed most of the traffic problems
