Winter Driving & Playing Checklist
Weather: We strongly urge you to adequately prepare for inclement weather before you head out to play in the snow! Check weather conditions, view road and more with our partners TripCheck.com.
Emergency Kit: Also, if you’re venturing far from home, AAA recommends the following list of ‘must-haves’ in case of emergencies. They include: a fully charged mobile phone; blankets or sleeping bags; a flashlight with extra batteries; first-aid kit; knife; drinking water; high-calorie non-perishable food; extra clothing; waterproof matches; sack of sand, cat litter, or traction mats; shovel; windshield scraper and brush; tool kit; tow rope; booster cables; compass and road maps; and emergency flares or reflectors.
Also, please check with Red Cross for tips on preparing a car emergency kit.
Sno-Park Permits: You must have a valid Sno-Park permit displayed in the windshield of your vehicle if you park in designated winter recreation parking areas (Sno-Parks) between November 15 and April 30. Sno-Parks are located in all mountain passes of the state and in most recognized ski, snowmobile, and snow play areas.
Permits are sold at all DMV offices and by permit agents in resorts, sporting goods stores, and other retail outlets. Agents are allowed to charge a service fee for each permit they sell.
All set? Find the snow…and ski or ride Oregon!
