We have about 2-3 inches in the snow play areas this morning.  I just came back from the snow play areas and the picture was taken this morning at about 9am. Click on the picture for a larger view.

The conditions look good.  Roads are open with no controls. The temp this morning was in the mid to upper thirty’s.

So come on up and get some Snow play in May in Southern California.

Should not be any crowded.

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.

THE HIGHWAY IS OPEN!!!!!!!!!

The Angeles Crest Highway is open.  I was just at Vincent Gap and the gates are open.  So come on up for a drive and a Great time in the Mountains.  Be carful while driving the highway as since it just opened you may see some wild game such as Bighorn Sheep, Deer, Bobcat and Mountain Lions. On my way back to the store I saw 2 deer crossing the road.  So come on up and have a great day also swing by Mtn Hardware and say hello.  Let us know how you trip was.

Happy Easter

The weather is Great. Come on up for a hike, Picnic or a drive in the Mountains.  The road to Blue Ridge is open at Inspiration Point.  I am not sure at this time how far the road is open but I would image it is open to Guffy Camp Ground.  We are starting to get some PCT hikers coming through so if you see someone on the PCT Trail they may be on there way to Canada.
