The weather at this elevation can be unpredictable. Please understand that high winds and snow may cause a power outage. You will find flashlights, candles, and plenty of blankets have been provided. A wood burning fireplace is available and you may want to purchase firewood on your way up. In case of a power outage I will reach out to you with updates. Use caution and low speed when driving on the mountain – especially when rain or fog is present. The City of Sky Valley prepares for ice and snow by salting the roads and then clearing the roads after snowfall. Please use your best judgement when travelling in these conditions.
