Plows on the road right now

Manitoba 511 trucks reporting a position on MB-83, MB-482, MB-16 within 121 km of the base, or on any road within 40 km. A pin is a position, not proof the road is open or bare. Trucks not heard from in 60 minutes are faded.

Positions come from the trucks' own GPS, through Manitoba 511, and refresh here every minute. "Last reported" is the truck's time, not ours.

Closures and crashes on the road

What this page can and cannot tell you

A plow pin is where a Manitoba 511 truck was when it last reported, with the route and kilometre the DOT attached. It says a truck was there. It does not say the road behind it is bare, and it does not say when the next pass comes. The DOT's camera, where there is one on MB-83, MB-482, MB-16, shows the surface itself. The closure list is Manitoba 511's own feed, read every five minutes and converted to the format MileCheck uses for every state. A quiet list means Manitoba 511 has posted nothing for these roads, which is different from a road being open.

The 40 km ring is the search area for trucks and cameras. A truck reporting on MB-83, MB-482, MB-16 is kept out to 121 km from the base, the stretch a driver is actually on; anything inside the ring is kept whatever road it is on, so a truck on a side road near the base still shows. The resort's own snow report is the source for snowfall, lifts and the parking lots.
