Good Morning we received about 20″ of snow in the snow play areas this week. So the conditions area GREAT. The best this year and it is mid March YAHOO!!!!!!

The weather is blue sky with e temperature in the mid 20’s. Travel conditions NO tire chain are need to access the snow play areas. So come on up and enjoy the new snow, great weather and the long days as you can feel spring is in the air.

This new snow we received this week is not only perfect for sledding but is perfect for snow ball fights and building snowman. Please post you picture of snowmen and lets see who has the biggest, the most unusual and the funniest snowman.

Please remember to ONLY snow play and build your snowman on the open National Forest/Monument land. If you are unsure where these areas are please stop by Mountain Hardware 1390 Hwy 2 Wrightwood, Ca 92397. We can help direct you to the areas where you can play in the snow for just the cost of an Adventure Pass ($5.00).

Please always respect our area and always know where you can play also please help us by picking up and removing any thrash so it is a GREAT experience for the next user. You can always drop your bagged trash at Mountain Hardware on your way home.

Looks like we should have a GREAT weekend for snow play we received about 2″ of snow in the past day and about 5″ of snow in the past week. So there is lots of new snow snow to play in.
All roads coming in from the east from I15 are open with no tire chains requirements. So this might be a good weekend to come enjoy the snow with your family.
Stop by Mountain Hardware 1390 Hwy #2 Wrightwood, Ca. 92397 and we will be able to give you the most current info on where to go and help you with any of your questions.

A couple of important points when coming up to the Wrightwood/ Big Pines area. Once you leave the I15 do not follow you apps on your navigation system. Take 138 west to Hwy 2 (at the stop signal and then take hwy 2 west to Wrightwood. This is the easiest and most direct route.

Also make sure you stop by for a map so you can access the snow play areas so you can have fun and not be in someone’s yard. Also please pick up and trash from your day in the snow and you can drop it at Mountain Hardware until we close at 5pm or of course take it home please. This will make it nicer for the next visitor.

I will post again early tomorrow morning for updated info.

Good Morning
I would suggest that you just sleep in this morning. As we are getting rain in all the snow play areas this morning and is to continue all day. I just returned from up on the mountain and it is windy, rainy and the road has lots of rocks even thought Caltrans is pushing them off.

So again my suggest not to come up today as it is kinda of a drippy day.
