Bridgeport Winter Recreation Area now open for snowmobiling
The Bridgeport Winter Recreation Area on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest's Bridgeport Ranger District is open as of Monday, Jan. 8, 2024.
Permits are required for each person/snowmobile entering the BWRA. They are free and can be obtained online here. Self-issued permits are also available at the People’s Gate kiosk.
Dangerous avalanche conditions continue as unstable snowpack exists at all elevations and can easily be triggered by individuals, so be cautious as you head out. Use good assessment skills and give yourself a wide safety margin as human triggered as well as natural avalanches remain likely.
Please wait until roads open before travelling to trailheads. Be sure to have a partner and remain mindful of changing surface conditions, including what types of terrain to avoid.
