Snow/Road Conditions Thursday, 12/27/2018

One of our full time residents took a quick snowmobile ride to the Meadow yesterday. There was a lot of fresh powder and the losses from the unseasonably warm week of weather had been wiped out. Still best to stick to the road and not get to far off the trail yet. We have an additional 5-8 inches of snow and it is snowing now.

Wednesday, December 19th, 2018 Road Conditions

Snowmobilers planning on riding into Jarbidge via Charleston and Bear Creek please be advised we have had a week of unseasonably warm temperatures. The snow in town is largely melted and an educated guess is that the snow up top is very soft. Please factor this in when making travel plans. We are still accessible via Rogerson, Idaho by any passenger vehicle in good repair.

Road Conditions Saturday, November 24th, 2018

We had a steady rain most of the evening in town Friday, November 23rd, 2018 which turned to snow during the night. We do not have any reports of how much snow fell in the meadows. If you plan on coming into Jarbidge via the Charleston, Gold Creek/Diamond A, or via Rogerson please be prepared for back-country winter conditions.

Thanksgiving Weekend Forecast

Per the US National Weather Service, unsettled weather is coming in for the Thanksgiving weekend. We have seen varying reports that indicate the higher elevations around Jarbidge could see as much as 12″ to 18″ of snow.
If you plan on traveling in the backcountry this holiday weekend please do so with caution and be prepared for adverse conditions.

Road Conditions as of Monday, November 19th, 2018

**Road Conditions as of Monday, November 19th, 2018**

Courtesy of Jason Stegall, owner of the Red Dog Saloon & Outdoor Inn. Road conditions are good via both Charleston and the Gold Creek/Diamond A for access to Jarbidge at this time. Hunters in over the weekend advised there was a light dusting at the higher elevations but nothing that interferes with travel into Jarbidge. There is still time to come visit before the snow flies. The Red Dog Saloon is open and the Outdoor Inn has rooms available for rent.

Road Conditions as of October 24th, 2018

At this time the Charleston, Gold Creek, and Rogerson routes are all open to access Jarbidge. We did have light snow last week and there may be a few spots in the shade as you come over Coon and Bear Creek that will still have snow. As the day warms up you will encounter mud due to the moisture but a reliable 4-wheel vehicle should have no trouble traversing the Charleston or Gold Creek routes.

The road from Rogerson via Murphys Hotsprings to Jarbidge is in generally good repair and open with no issues.
