Before you travel
- Road access. Bruce Road can close at short notice for snow, ice or wind, and chains can be required even when it is open.
- Check the forecast too. The report above shows what it is doing now; the mountain can turn while you are driving up.
- If in doubt, contact us. Details are on the Contact page.
