Fun for kids- gets packed- be careful of holes. Go online to buy pass- have to print out is downfall but I just put number on dash of truck. Would be nice to have just a code entered- most people did not have a pass πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ. Was a nice place though

Simple but effective set up - parking is relatively limited so plan to arrive early if you want a good spot. The single public bathroom was a bit dirty, but functional. When we were there there hadn't been any fresh snow for a while so it was compacted down into ice and quite treacherous in places. Be sure to bring good outdoor footwear and go carefully, we saw plenty of people slipping over. There are plenty of slopes for the kids to play on, mostly fairly gentle. Would definitely have been a great spot with a little more fresh snow!

We didn't get there early so waited a long time for parking. There was lots of room to roam and did not feel crowded. There is 1 outhouse that did have toilet paper but might be good to take toilet paper and sanitizer since there's no …

There's a lot of snow! It was actively snowing Sat.,2/13/21. Suggestions:Make sure you buy a day pass before getting there - there was a park officer issuing tickets, get there early or you'll be waiting for a spot to open up - that could be minutes, 1/2 hr, to an hour, and depending on weather be sure to have chains/ cables readily available ( and the know how -on how to put them on, as there was only one Caltrans worker directing cars to stop but was unable to be "hands on" to help) unless you have 4 wheel drive. **Pack snacks and/or lunch. There is one bathroom. Have fun!!

Hi is there snow in the month of February .2021 would love to take my kids this president week. Don't know the surrounds so like to know don't want to get lost.

Emily Castro | Mar 8, 2021
Melinda Joly | Mar 9, 2021

Yes, definitely snow. I'm assuming the lot has been plowed by now but you may want to check. Don't forget to buy a sno-park pass.

Is there still a lot of snow now, February 11 2021? I would like to go this weekend or Monday. Do I need chains or special tires to get there? I have a Corolla with decent all weather tires.

Bryn Hendricks | Mar 8, 2021
Alexis Kollias Thiele | Mar 9, 2021

We also went on Tuesday and had snow as deep as our hip! Lots of little hills to sled down, though we didn't stay right next to the parking lot, we trekked up and over for a bit to distance ourselves from others. Remember to buy your $5 parking pass in advance at the shop in Arnold. Snow is forecasted on Saturday. We had 3 hours of great fun!

We are planning a day-trip to Spicer Snopark on Saturday Dec 26 2020. Is there good / fluffy snow if any for the kids to play?

weishan sun | Feb 1, 2021
Abel Cervantes | Feb 2, 2021

There was a good amount of fluffy snow when we went yesterday (not too packed together) but not enough to really sled in (the trails were too powdery and not packed in enough). However, by the time you guys should go, there should be more snow and the trails should be longer and packed in.

Hello, we will be there next week. Is there any snow now? Also, where do we purchase parking permit and pass? Thank you!

Lashaun Johnson | Feb 2, 2020
Natalie Kane | Feb 3, 2020

Spicer is basically a dead end Street/cul-de-sac that you park in (there's a fee to use the "snow park") and play in the surrounding area. There aren't any lifts, there aren't any tube rentals, there aren't any pre groomed hills. There is an outhouse style bathroom. No food or concessions sold.

We are planning a little family trip the 26-27th of this month, is there a lot of snow? Are snow chains needed and is it suitable for children ages 5-13?

Andrea Rios | Feb 2, 2019
Annette Warren | Feb 3, 2019

There was icy snow on New Year's Eve. Quite a bit of it. The road calls for you to carry chains past Arnold. It was not snowing so we did not need put on chains. You only need to put on chains if it's actually snowing. This is a great place for kids to play around in the snow with sleds or making snow people. Check the sno-park website to see whether there is snow before you go.

I want to go tomorrow ,,do l need the chains for my minivan??
