Well we only have a few patches of snow left.  So snow play season is basically over for the years.  I hope everybody had a great time.

I will continue this report during the summer.  Will include hiking info.  So please check back often.

As of now most hiking trail are still closed because of snow at the upper elevations.  But you can still have a great day in the mountain with a picnic lunch along highway 2 and N4 in the Jackson lake and Big Rock Creek area.

Well, winter does not want to end.  We received 4-7″ of snow in the snow play areas in the last day or so.  Today is cold this morning with a low of 14 deg in Wrightwood.  This will keep the snow very fresh so if you want your last chance (maybe) of new snow for the season come on up.

I hope you have a great weekend and stop and see us.
