A beautiful day today

The temp is 29  this morning, the sky is blue (maybe 20% chance of snow this afternoon) and light winds.  Also the roads are open with NO chain controls at this time.  So today would be a great day to come on up and play in the snow before the big rush after Christmas.

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 760-249-3653 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

Good Morning

We received 3-4 inches of snow yesterday.  This morning there is a winter advisory thru 1pm per the national weather service.  They are calling for an additional 4-5 inches of snow today.

The good new is we have snow for snow play.  If you come up today make sure you are prepared for winter

Lookslike another great day for snow play in the Wrightwood area.  Temps this morning are in the low 30’s with high clouds.  There is a chance of snow in the afternoon also there will be high winds over the ridges.  If you stay in the lower areas (where the best snow play is) the wind should be light.

Also the best news is the roads are open and clear NO tire chains needed at this time.

Also remember that Wrightwood is the only snow play area you can go to without driving winding mountain roads.  So come on up!!!!
