Gorge RR Status
The road will be ploughed till March 2023 for industrial purposes. Pullouts are for industrial traffic. DO NOT park on the road. Please carpool as parking is limited. If there is no room to park, you will have to find another spot to ski for the day. The road may not be maintained every day particularly on weekend and holidays. Radios (with RR9 freq) required 7 days a week. Pay attention to the radio, listening is more important then talking. Loaded (down hill traffic) & industrial vehicles always have the right of way. Make sure your truck can handle the drive - have good winter tires, a tow strap, and carry chains and know how to use them.
