May lose power.
We are located in the mountains. We’re on the grid, but we’re in a very rural area. When the power goes out, it might go out for a day or so. Candles and additional lighting are available if this happens. Use of water will not be available. It is always a good idea to bring a couple of gallons of water when traveling in the mountains.

It might snow.
Mountain Fun is located at 3,700 feet elevation and it does snow here. So please check the weather before driving up and be prepared with snow chains or 4-wheel drive if necessary.
