It's always a good idea to be watching the weather. Access to this cabin does not require any additional vehicle feature beyond what is recommended for any mountain driving this time of year. We have hired a plow service that comes by whenever it snows more than 4". The plows work on a schedule, so they may not be there right when you want to leave...this is where a proper winter vehicle helps...and there is a snow shovel that you are welcome to use.
