California SNO-PARKs
There are 19 SNO-PARK sites throughout the Sierra Nevada. Each has a distinctive brown highway sign identifying its location. At each SNO-PARK, visitors can access snow-cleared parking lots and sanitation facilities. Please note that you should pack out your trash, including broken sleds!
The sites can accommodate self-guided activities such as snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and general snow play. Snow conditions determine accessibility and opportunities available at each location.
SNO-PARKs are open seasonally between November 1 and May 30. Visitors must display a parking permit for each vehicle parked at a SNO-PARK.
Day-use permits may be purchased for $15.00 or a season permit for $40.00 from various vendors throughout California and Nevada. Check the website for a current list of where you can purchase a permit, or call the OHMVR Division at (916) 324-4442.
