A Blue Sky day

We do have some snow play.  The snow is a bit old as we have not received snow in about 10 days.  I was up in the snow play areas yesterday and people were still finding snow to have fun.  The weather is great with high temps in the upper 40’s, blue sky and light wind.  Roads are open with no controls.  So today would be a great day to come to the mountains and spend a fun day with you family enjoying your National Forest.

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.
