Good Morning
Yes, we have snow in the snowplay areas. Check out the pictures from yesterday’s post.
The problem today is the amount of people coming up to play in the snow and to go to Mt High Resort.

…

At this time if you are not here I would suggest that you wait and come later in the day (after 2pm) or another day.

Because of the amount of the traffic going to Mt High Resort. MOUNTAIN HARDWARE will open tomorrow Sunday 1/20/19 at 7:30am. We hope that this will help you get to the snowplay areas before the traffic gridlocks.

Also, during the Goverment shutdown we will be providing a snow saucer to out of work Government employees for just $.01 to help them stretch their money.
Also during the Government shutdown there are NO Adventure passes available to sell, so there is no way to purchase one. Make sure you pickup your trash to help keep areas open and clean.

Well it is a very wet here this morning.
We did received about 2” of snow yesterday in the snow play areas. But it then turned to rain and has been raining and windy since. It is still raining this morning.
So this would NOT be a good day to come to the mountains. Much nicer day to set by the fire and read a good book, work on a puzzle or dream about being in the mountains.
The storm should move out of the area late this afternoon with tomorrow, Friday being clear.

Once the storm clears I will post an update on conditions on Friday morning.
Stay dry

As if this time Cal Trans has tire chain required at the county line west of town. Also, Cal Trans has not open the gate at Big Pines to access the snow play areas on highway 2. We have 2-3″ of new new but at this time there is not alot of place to play until they open the gate. I will keep checking if the open the gate.
Tomorrow should be a very good day as the storm should be over and we HOPE that Cal Trans will open the gate.
