Is there currently snow in Frazier park I would love for my husband to experience the snow for the first time ever.



There are patches of snow on the top of Mt Pinos. It is expected to snow starting later today through tomorrow with a few inches of accumulation. Given the accuracy of weather forecasts and how quickly Kern County can plow roads, it could range from the current few patches of snow to pretty good coverage but the road closed. This is something we should have a better idea of later in the week.

Will I be required to carry chains if I am driving an All-wheel drive Subaru with A/T tires, if the road to the Nordic ski base is plowed? I am thinking of coming up this Saturday with the kids and we have a 3 hour drive to get there. Just want to make sure we don't get turned away.



The official answer is that you are required to have chains or other approved snow traction device in your car. See: https://dot.ca.gov/travel/winter-driving-tips/chain-controls
