It is a beautiful morning
Blue sky tempature is about 40 degs F. All roads are open to the snow play areas from our location at Mountain Hardware 1390 hwy#2 Wrightwood, Ca. 92397
I took the pictures below this morning.
Do not forget that this weekend is MLK holiday so I would suggest that you arrive in town by 9am as traffic will be bad. If you leave by 2pm you will miss most of the traffic.

Well it is a very wet here this morning.
We did received about 2” of snow yesterday in the snow play areas. But it then turned to rain and has been raining and windy since. It is still raining this morning.
So this would NOT be a good day to come to the mountains. Much nicer day to set by the fire and read a good book, work on a puzzle or dream about being in the mountains.
The storm should move out of the area late this afternoon with tomorrow, Friday being clear.

Once the storm clears I will post an update on conditions on Friday morning.
Stay dry

As if this time Cal Trans has tire chain required at the county line west of town. Also, Cal Trans has not open the gate at Big Pines to access the snow play areas on highway 2. We have 2-3″ of new new but at this time there is not alot of place to play until they open the gate. I will keep checking if the open the gate.
Tomorrow should be a very good day as the storm should be over and we HOPE that Cal Trans will open the gate.
I will keep this page updated.

1/6/19 9am Update

1/6/19 9am Update
Highway 2 is now open without any controls up to Big Pines from the east.
N4 (to Jackson Lake) and Table Mountain road require tire chains.
It is going to be a bit crowed today because of Highway 2 closed at Big Pines. So if possible it would be a much better day to take the kids out of school and come tomorrow Monday. You will have the whole area to yourself.
