The weather has been great, actually too good.  We still have some snow left for snow play on the north slope along hwy #2 above Big Pines.  I was up there this afternoon and there were people having fun in the snow.  The snow is a bit hard in the morning very spring like snow also there is some dirt showing in some areas.  But the weather is great with high in the mid 50’s and only a light breeze.  The roads are open with no chain control.

We have been having  early spring weather here.  We still have snow for snow play mostly along highway 2 west of Big Pines along the north slope.  The snow is a bit hard from the warm weather and with some dirt showing.  But the good news is the weather has been great, highs in the mid 50 deg f with light wind and clear views of the desert to the north and the city to the south.

The snow play conditions are still good.  The weather is clear with blue sky and high temps in the low 50 deg f.  There should be very little traffic this week so this would be the time to come up.  All roads are clear with no restrictions.  So grab the kids and a picnic lunch and come on up.

I just came back from the snow play areas.  The snow is still good between Big Pines and InspirationPoint.  The weather is great with highs in the 50 deg f.  Clear blue skies.  This weekend is usually not as busy so if weekends are the only time you and your children can come up make it this weekend.

Well the big weekend is over.  Now is the time to come up and enjoy a day in the snow.  You will have the whole area to yourself.  The weather is great warm and little wind with a chance of something coming in toward the end of the week.  It has been very clear here and you can see Catalina Island what a sight!!  The snow is still in great condition.  Do not forget our MID WEEK SPECIAL (except holidays) .

The conditions for snow play are GREAT!  The only problem will be traffic on Sat., Sun, and Monday because this is a 3 day weekend.  So if you must come on the weekend please arrive in town by 8:30 am or wait until after 1pm.  But the best idea is to come up midweek non holiday days.  Do not forget our MID WEEK SPECIAL (except holidays) .
