Good Morning.
We received snow all night and it is still snowing. The weather service is saying the storm should end tonight.

We have plenty of snow in the snow play areas. So there is no rush to get here as the road conditions are still not very good. Tire chains are required from hwy 2 west bound to Wrightwood. So if you have to come make sure to stop and get your chains and know how to install them.
Chains are sold at the SHELL Station at the 15 and 138 24 hours a day. Also at MT TOP MINI MART at the 138 and Hwy 2 they will open today at 7:30 am.

Still better, I would just wait until the road are in better shape.

I would suggest you wait until the weather clears to come up for a day in the snow. At this time you are required to have tire chains on your car or 4×4 with snow tires even to access Wrightwood both from 138 from the east or N4 from the west.
The weather service is saying we will have storms thru Wednesday this week. It looks like we will have plenty of snow plenty for snow play for a while.
If you do need to come up make sure you are ready for winter travel and have tire chains that fit you car and know how to install them. Chains are available at the Shell gas station at the I15 and 138 and also at Mt Top Mini Mart

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.

A beautiful day in the mountains.
The bad news is there is not much snow left for snow play. It has become very hard and dirty.
But the weather is GREAT so it is a good time to come up and have fun with your family in the mountains.

A big thank you to Jeff Scott for being out and helping it is appreciated.

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
