Page Mountain Sno-Park

PLEASE NOTE: The Page Mountain Sno Park is temporarily closed for the the winter of 2020-2021 due to hazard trees and other damages sustained during the 2020 Slater Fire. For public safety, please avoid the area.

The Page Mountain Sno Park is a picturesque setting to enjoy the fun of winter! Located in the mountains above Cave Junction, OR and the Illinois Valley, this is a great setting to have a winter outing with friends and family!

Heads up: Use caution on the slopes when the snow is not fresh and there are a lot of visitors. The snow can freeze and crust quickly at this elevation, creating unsafe sledding conditions or excessive speeds.

Fee

You must have a valid Sno–Park permit displayed near the lower left corner of the windshield of your vehicle if you park in a designated winter recreation parking area (Sno–Park) between November 1 and April 30. Oregon’s Sno–Park Program is funded entirely by the sale of Sno– Park permits. The program provides funds for snow removal in Sno–Parks and enforcement of the permit requirement. Permits are sold at all DMV offices and by permit sales agents at various resorts, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets. Sales agents may charge an additional service fee for each permit they sell. There are three types of permits:

An annual permit ($25.00/year)
A 3-day permit ($9.00/year)
A one-time, daily permit ($4.00/day)

Restrictions

CHAIN AND TRACTION TIRE REQUIREMENTS When you travel in winter conditions, you must carry chains or traction tires in or on your vehicle, and must use them, when required by the signs posted. Under some conditions, four-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles may be exempt from the requirements to use chains. For more information on Oregon’s chain and traction tire requirements, go to Oregon Department of Transportation travel web page, Tripcheck. WINTER DRIVING CHECKLIST Traveling in Oregon’s snow country can be hazardous, especially if you are caught in a severe storm. The following checklist will help you be prepared in case you must travel during heavy snow.

Is there sufficient anti–freeze in your radiator?
Are the windshield wipers in good condition, and is the reservoir filled with winterized washer fluid?
Are the muffler and exhaust system in good condition? A leaking exhaust system can fill a closed car with carbon monoxide gas.
Is the gas tank filled? Long waits during storms are common.
Is the defroster in good working order?
Extra equipment— The following items will help you in case of an emergency, such as getting stuck in a snowbank:
- Small shovel
- Flares
- Bag of sand, rock salt or a skid mat
- Ice scraper and brush to remove ice and snow from your vehicle
- Rags or paper towels to clean the windshield.
- Battery booster cables
- Warm, waterproof clothing, boots and gloves
- Blankets
- Flashlight with extra batteries
