Word of plans to keep the road that stretches from Longmire to Paradise closed Monday through Friday this winter leaked into the community in recent days. FOX13
A worker at the park told FOX 13 that staff were told on Monday that staffing issues would prevent them from keeping the gate to Paradise open, the goal will be to keep it open to the public on weekends only.
Neville said that a lot of businesses rely on tourism. The area beyond Longmire is a favorite for cross-country skiers and avid fans of snowshoeing. The park itself still has plenty of activities at lower elevations, but the heavy snow closer to the summit draws in plenty of regulars. The full details of the operating plan haven’t been made clear. Locals tell FOX 13 News that they expect the complete plan to be released by the park on Tuesday.
Bob Bailie, who owns a rental property, said he doesn’t remember a year where they planned to shut-off access to Paradise for days – let alone the majority of a season."I think they’re going to say it’s because of staffing and COVID-19, but I don’t think that’s a really good excuse for the park," said Bailie.
