Heard this morning that they were going to close the Desert road today (ice-snow)

can anyone confirm this ?

kbushnz · Post by **kbushnz** » Tue May 28, 2013 4:43 pm

Its closed at the moment Steve
It tends to get closed during the night and early morning... Once the snow plow / sweeper has gone thru they open it again....
Here is the website

We will need to check it out closer to our departure day...
