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.

Finally conditions look great!!!!!  This morning it is 18 deg F in Wrightwood and in the sledding areas we have received 10-12 inches of snow from this past storm.  So you will have 2 to 3 feet of snow to play in.  Roads are finally open without chain control also there is alot less traffic.  Lots of blue sky this morning so it should be a great day.

We received about 4 inches of snow overnight.  Snow there is plenty of snow for snow play the bad news is that you will need tire chains from the I15 up to Wrightwood.  So maybe you should wait until later in the week when the road reopened.

Today the temp is about 30 deg F with light snow falling, just started in town about 7am.  The snow play conditions are great there is lots of snow.  The two main issues today will be traffic and if the chain control go on which I think will happen.  So if you can, a better idea would be to wait until the weather clears next week and come up then and enjoy the snow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Snow conditions are great with more than 2 feet in the snow play areas.  Temp this morning is about 28 deg F with some broken clouds but looks like we will have lots of sunshine today.  Again the only issue with coming up will be with traffic.  So please plan on arriving in town by about 9am or after 1pm to avoid most of the traffic.  Weather man is calling for another storm starting tomorrow with up to 1 foot of snow.  So if you do not make it today we  have plenty of snow and it  looks like we will be getting more soon.

Conditions are great lots of snow and no chain controls on the roads.  But there is lots of traffic.  I recommend that you arrive in town by 8:30am or wait until after 1pm that way you can avoid most of the traffic.  The good news is that we have plenty of snow so if you can come up next week during the week you will have the area all to yourself.
