When you get up further in NH there are some seasonal roads that are nice shortcuts in the summer, but have gates on either end and get shut off in the winter.

Quote HistoryQuoted: When you get up further in NH there are some seasonal roads that are nice shortcuts in the summer, but have gates on either end and get shut off in the winter. Yeah that's pretty much the deal here, but they are scattered throughout Wyoming due to the amount of different mountain ranges throughout the state.

In WV the Forest Service closes some roads, the rest are travel at your own risk during the winter. |

NH also has a few roads I'm familiar with that are open year round, but usually have a simple single word sign that says "MUD".
If you drive a non 4WD vehicle down them in March or April, and it's above freezing, you may be calling a tow truck. |

Around here the National Forest 25 road that runs up the east side of St Helens get's closed in the winter until June. I was just up there yesterday and the gate was still open.
From a couple years ago, the snowmobilers make a snow ramp over the gate.

Quoted:
I was just listening to the radio and WYDOT announced all seasonal roads are now closed for the season (this includes mostly state highways in mountain passes). I assume Alaska, and other Rocky Mountain States deal with this as well. Any of you other guys have seasonal road closures? Oh yeah! In winter we have DAILY road closures.

Pretty much any road that doesn't have residences or businesses on it is closed around December 1st. Some of the higher ones close earlier, some don't open until July/August.

Getting to A-basin sucks when that happens. |

They become snowmobile trails in the winter There are other seasonal roads that cross unpopulated land that towns wont maintain in the winter Those are shrinking in number with houses being built up on formerly unoccupied land |

During break up or mud season depending on who is talking, I had to go pick up my ammo packages at a local bar that was over 10 miles away. UPS and Fedex couldn't deliver off the beaten track.
