It is a beautiful day.  I just came back and there still are good areas to play in the snow.

All roads are open and clear to come in from the east side the I15, 138, 2 way.  Today would be the day to come and play as the weather service is calling  for rain tomorrow.

Make sure you stop by Mountain Hardware pick up a free map and to purchase a adventure pass you will need in most areas for parking.

Another GREAT Morning

Lots of snow, roads are open no chains required. The only problem today will be the large amount of people coming up to play in the snow.

I suggest to come early, be in town by 8-8:30 am at the latest and then plan on leaving the mountain by 2 pm.  By doing this you should miss most of the traffic problems.

Come on up, stop by Mountain Hardware 1390 hwy 2 Wrighwood Ca. 92397. We have the adventure pass you will need also a free snow play map just ask.  This way you will know where it is safe and proper to play in the snow.

It is a beautiful morning is the mountains.

We gave received abut 24″ of new snow in the last week.  The conditions are GREAT.

The roads are open and clean with NO tire chain controls to Big PInes.  But all roads west of Big Pines are requiring tire chain as of this morning.

This weekend will be very busy here.  So I suggest that you plan to arrive early before the ski area traffic causes grid lock when they max out their parking lots.  I would arrive in town by about 8-8:30 am at the latest.  Then if you leave the area before about 2pm you will miss most of the afternoon traffic.  Mountain Hardware 1390 Hwy @ Wrightwood, Ca 92397 will be open at 7am so please stop my and say hello.  We also have the Adventure Pass for sale $5.00 per car you will need this pass in the snow play areas.  Also we will have the most current road and snow conditions and we also have a FREE snow play maps.

Mike

We received about 2″ of snow in the snow play areas overnight.

All Roads in the Wrighwood area are requiring Tire Chain this morning.  It is about 21 degrees this morning and is to be cold all day with snow thru midnight.  So I would think that the chain control will remain on all day.

There is plenty of snow so if you are not geared up for winter travel just wait a few days and the roads will be clear and then you can come an enjoy the Mountains and all the snow we have this season.

Mike

We received another 1-2” of snow yesterday afternoon. So we have lots of snow. It is very cold this morning below 10 degrees.
No tire chains needed to get to Wrightwood from the east but to the west into the snow play areas you will need chains
Check out the moon setting this morning in the snow play areas

Good Morning

We have lots of new snow for Great snow paly conditions.  The problem today will be the amount of people coming up to have  fun in the snow.   I would suggest that you plan on arriving in Wrightwood by about 8:30am to avoid most of the traffic.  Also if you plan to leave by 2pm at the latest you should miss most of the traffic going down the mountain.

Make sure you car is prepared for winter travel.  Tire chains are not required at this time.

Please make sure you ONLY play in the snow on the National Forest Land.  You will be ticketed if you play on private property.  Here at Mountain Hardware we have a FREEE snow play map to help you find the correct areas to play in the snow.  Please stop by Mountain Hardware 1390 hwy 2 Wrightwood, Ca. 92397.

Also today is a FREE Adventure Pass day.  Because it is President Day so you will not need to buy a pass today.

Good Morning we received about 1-2 inches of snow last night.  As of this morning hwy 2 is open to Wrightwood from hwy 138.  When you travel to the west of Wrighwood to the snow play areas you will need tire chains on your car.  If you need tire chains we sell them at Mountain Hardware.

Today will be very busy so the best idea is to arrive here as early as possible then to plan on leaving by 2pm.  By doing this you will avoid most of the traffic problems.

Today the weather is clear sky, temp is about 20 degrees with a light wind.  There is another storm due in tomorrow on Sunday.  Please remember to only snow play on open National Forest Lands.  You can stop here  at Mountain Hardware 1390 hwy2 Wrightwood, Ca. 92397 and we can give you a map to show you where you can play and the best current conditions.

I hope you have a fun day in the Mountains with your family.
