Kanc is always open my friend

I’m pretty sure the kanc is always open if you have the vehicle for it and the balls to try.

i thought it was partially closed for the winter months? maybe i’ve been mistaken

that’s fair💀 i ask bc i always see the signs that day it’s not plowed

They’re accurate signs. That shit is a wild ride if you attempt it, I would highly advise against it 🤣

okok this is why i ask 🤣🤣🤣 maybe i should rephrase, when is the snow usually cleared 💀💀

Oh man it really depends on a lot of factors. I’d say if you want to aim for close to a 100% safe trip then once most of the snow is melted across the state, give it 2-3 more weeks and you’ll likely be fine. I’ve had some trips over the kanc where I didn’t follow that advice and things got a bit dicey around certain corners even at low speeds.

You're thinking of Smuggler's Notch.

Bear Notch road that connects Bartlett to the Kanc closes during the winter. There are a few roads that close in the winter, here’s the list.But the Kanc is always open and plowed.

You’ll be okay, as long as it’s not actively snowing. It’s plowed pretty well. I used to drive across it every other day in the winter in my shitty little hyundai accent. Only ever had trouble when I got caught in a snowstorm but even then I got across fine.

The Kanc should never have been paved. Scar on the land

Without clicking I'm guessing Hurricane Mt, Foss Mt and Evan's Notch are on that list

2/3, no foss mountain!

2/3 ain't bad!

I'll be darned - live and learn. It was completed so late that I assumed it was paved from the start.

I like dirt roads but if that baby was unpaved - it's so steep, so icy/snowy - it would cost a fortune to make it usable every spring.

LOL, and we shouldn't have complete the rural electrification program. People expect too much now!

I grew up without electricity.
