The White River National Forest winter travel season is underway.
During the winter season, all wheeled vehicles, including bicycles, are limited to plowed routes to protect snow conditions for winter recreation and to protect road quality.
“These winter regulations are an important part of keeping the White River National Forest a premiere location for winter recreation by helping maintain conditions for activities like snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing,” Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams said.
In many areas of the White River National Forest, snowmobile clubs groom roads for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing as a public service using volunteer time and funding from private and partner sources. At the Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area, user fees pay for trail grooming, plowed parking and user education. Respecting signs and travel restrictions will help protect this investment in maintaining groomed surfaces and winter recreation opportunities.
Snow levels are still relatively low across much of the forest, including the popular Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area.
