Snow is possible up here. The roads to the cabin are plowed, but because we’re right off the main highway, plows can leave a berm across the driveway. We’ll clear it before you arrive when we can — during heavy snow the plows run continuously and there’s a good chance you’ll need to shovel. Bring chains or drive 4WD, and pack warm layers and a flashlight.
