Mtn Hardware boys out picking up trash after the long holiday weekend. Some before and after dumpster pictures.
A big thank you to Jeff Scott for being out and helping it is appreciated.
If you want to go out and help pick up snow play trash on your own bring the bags by mtn Hardware and throw in our dumpster.
1/20/19 2pm
Update, lots of traffic you already know this if you are in line. It is 45 minutes to 1 hour from Mountain Hardware to Mt High East. Once you pass Mt High East the traffic starts moving very well about 25-35 mph.
The good new if you are still waiting there is still snow to play in west of Big Pines.
If you are reading this post and thinking about coming up tomorrow then I would suggest that you plan on arriving here at Mountain Hardware 1390 hwy2 Wrightwood Ca. 92397 by about 8-8:30 am no latter in the morning.
We will be open in the morning at 7am tomorrow so you can get up to the snowplay areas before the traffic causes a grid lock.
See you in the morning

I know I do not usually post at night.
But I wanted everyone planning to come up to play in the snow to know today was a madhouse with the traffic in a grid lock most of the day. I would suggest if you can arrange it to come up next week after the holiday and you will have the area to your self.
But if you have come tomorrow plan on arriving early I would suggest to arrive in town by 8am to be ahead of most of the traffic. Then if you leave by 2pm you will be ahead of the afternoon traffic headed home.
Mountain Hardware will be opening 1 hour early at 7:30 am tomorrow Sunday so you will be able to get up to the snowplow areas before the traffic gets too bad.

Good Morning
Yes, we have snow in the snowplay areas. Check out the pictures from yesterday’s post.
The problem today is the amount of people coming up to play in the snow and to go to Mt High Resort.
…
At this time if you are not here I would suggest that you wait and come later in the day (after 2pm) or another day.
Because of the amount of the traffic going to Mt High Resort. MOUNTAIN HARDWARE will open tomorrow Sunday 1/20/19 at 7:30am. We hope that this will help you get to the snowplay areas before the traffic gridlocks.
Also, during the Goverment shutdown we will be providing a snow saucer to out of work Government employees for just $.01 to help them stretch their money.
Also during the Government shutdown there are NO Adventure passes available to sell, so there is no way to purchase one. Make sure you pickup your trash to help keep areas open and clean.

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
Mike
Good Morning
We have received about 1″ of snow last night. We have received about 4-6″ in the last 24 hours in the snow play areas.
Currently it is we have mixed rain and snow with the temperature about 35 deg F and light winds.
Roads a currently open with no controls. You did not need tires chain as of this morning. But conditions can always change so please come prepared for winter travel conditions at all times in the mountains.
Stop by Mountain Hardware at 1390 Hwy#2 in Wrightwood, Ca. 92397 for the most current conditions
