Access road to all snow parks have snow on the road and by the time you get to the upper parks maybe 3 inches. The snow is not melting, and this makes the road surface slick in places. Use 4 wheel drive and chains if necessary.

Winter may return to Cascades this week. If you are heading for the MTTA trails, be prepared! With luck this will be a change that will last the rest of the winter. Carry and use tire chains! If this major shift occurs the E coast will warm up, winter will return to West coast.
