Winter Weather
Highly recommend by locals to buy snow chains for front tires and return if you don't need. You may not make it up the mountain without them in a storm. They will also help keep you safe. You can buy on Amazon and return if you don't need them. Tow bills are $500 in winter if you end up in a ditch.
