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.

The weather service is call for a storm today starting at about 10 am thru today. So make sure you are prepared for winter travel conditions.
Please only play on the National Forest land and NOT on private property as you be citied if you do. Please stop by Mountain Hardware 1390 Hwy 2 Wrightwood, Ca. 92397 and we can give you a map and provide you with the best current locations for fun in the snow. The only problem today and tomorrow will be the large amount of visitors come up 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.

Good Morning!
Snow Play is great today. Mostly everyone is back to school and work today so you will have the forest to yourself. Hwy 2 at Bigpines is still closed (no access to grassy hollow) but N4 is now open with plenty of room to play.
Stop by Mtn Hardware for a free snowplay map we will show you the best spots, we also have snow apparal (boots, gloves, pants, and beanies).
…
No chains required roads are clear.

We are getting snow in the snow play areas as of this morning.
If you are coming up make sure you come early as I talked about in yesterday’s post. Also make sure you and your car are prepared for winter travel conditions. Make sure you have tire chains and know how to install them and how to drive with them on. Tires chain are currently required in all the snow play areas.
We have received 3 plus feet of snow in the last 10 days so if you can not make up this weekend we have plenty to last for a few weeks.
