Sorry for the late post but I am a bit under the weather today. I just drove up to the snow play areas and it is 37 degrees and heavy rain. the road is closed at Big Pines. There is NO reason to come up today unless you want to try out your new rain jacket as there is no access to any snow. The weather service is calling for it to get colder tonight so we will see in the morning.
I will post tomorrow morning with the current conditions.

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.
