Before you drive

  • Carry chains or traction devices in winter, even when the road is clear when you leave. Conditions on the pass can change within an hour.
  • Check the lot rules for your resort before you go. Some lots need a reservation or permit, and busy weekends fill early.
  • Leave a margin for the drive home. Traffic peaks when the lifts close, and afternoon snow can bring chain controls back.
