Who has been to Cloud Cap recently?

Like within the past week. Can you drive all the way to Cloud Cap w/ 4 wheel drive but sans snowtires (mine aren't installed yet)? What's the snow coverage on lwr Cooper Spur (below tie-in-rock) like? Could you ski from there to the TH? Any photos?

 

I'm not going to ask what conditions are like on Snowdome as I already know conditions are always perfect there. However how far could one ski down the Langille Crags gully? How about down the Eliot creek gully? And most importantly: if I ski into a thinly-bridged crevasse on Snowdome will my cell phone still work to call for a rescue?

 

I'm not sure I'm going to get out this weekend, just curious.

on monday i drove all the way to the trailhead without 4wd - most of the road was bare and easily passable

 

cooper spur was primarily neve/late season snowpack with sporadic shallow powder drifts

 

however, it was snowing like a banshee above 7,000ft - albeit horizontally

 

sorry, no photos
